Who Wore it Best?!
Hey all, im trying to decide which color i would rather paint the 68 stepside, light blue or dark blue. Which do you all think looks better? The light blue i am considering is a bit more pale than the light blue example. leave a comment, or click the vote box! thanks for your 2 cents
Ben

Re: Who Wore it Best?!
The factory 508 Dark Blue and 526 Ivory/Off White are a hard combo to beat IMHO.

The lighter colors don't show dust an hour after washing it.

Re: Who Wore it Best?!
I voted dark blue and I think you need some chrome trim as well. I know the attached pics are of a fleetside but this will give you an idea.

Re: Who Wore it Best?!
I like bright or dark colors. With that said given the choices, I chose dark blue. I agree with SS Tim some Ivory for contrast would be gorgeous.

Re: Who Wore it Best?!
A light blue base '67 Stepside has the '67 Truck quintessential look. Dark blue is better for a Custom or CST with chrome.
