Ochre? Keep or re-paint????
Picture says it all. I just dropped this off at the paint shop and am about to dump $1500 into the bad boy, and the owner of the shop goes...
"That's got to be the ugliest color they've ever made", "no wonder you're here to change the color". ![]() Well, when I said I was planning on keeping it original he almost died laughing. So the question is- Should I keep it Ochre or take advantage of the opportunity to change it out. The interior is Saddle, and I have no intention of messing with it, as that part of it is very nice. Thanks in advance! |

Re: Ochre? Keep or re-paint????
Ochre, all the way. I've had my ochre truck for 7 years, and it is my favorite color on these trucks....when its in a nice, new coat of Ochre paint, it will look great!

Re: Ochre? Keep or re-paint????
I kind of like it too. The best part is you don't see it on any other truck. Actually, I don't know if it was ever put on any other Chevy??

Re: Ochre? Keep or re-paint????
I'd keep it if you like it. I have always wanted a Ochre Suburban. Some people say they look they look like short buses, but some may say I belong on a short bus, so maybe that's my attraction with them!
