Got another one - color???

[Big Chief]

I found this K5 and it had a virtually rust free body (tough to find in VA), brand new tires, new top...The guy kept lowering his price so I couldn't resist. Now I have two, my 71 jimmy and this. I think I may keep this one cuz it's so nice. I already am putting a new engine in it and the 3/4 ton brake conversion. I will post some more pics too of the progress. I will probobly swap over my cage from the jimmy to this one. I will probobly eventually sell the Jimmy and keep this K5.

I posted it in photshop but I think the pic may be too dark to work with.

Trying to decide what color to paint it.

Any paint color suggestions???
*Gloss Black, Burnt orange/copper, nassau blue. I like the blue from this blue lmc truck and am leaning toward that. http://www.lmctruck.com/icatalog/cb/full.asp?page=55 Anyone know the paint code? Also should I buy chrome bumpers or paint these black or the same color I paint the rest of the truck. Just looking for ideas.

My K5 was originally blue and from what I can see under the peeling other paint jobs, it's a good looking color. So, I vote blue!

Looks like a sweet K5!!!!

Cool!
Get the list of factory colors for that year and pic one of them..I like the Drk Green GM color
Oh and get rid of thoes big ole side view mirrors

I called lmc at their kc phone # and I got someone helpful. She said the pics are photoshoped and not "real" paint colors. But I found this link and I like the intense blue pearl color. Looks about the same shade of blue.

What do you think about bumpers? Black, chrome blue. Painting would be free chrome I would have to buy new ones$$$

I hear you on the mirrors...I bought the small sport mirrors but boy they are tiny I am concerned I won't be able to back the thing up with out mowing down stuff?

Ya hard to see but I think the factory mirrors look way better..you get use to having a small image so no worries

I like the black. Definitely chrome bumpers. I'd get rechromed original equipment if you can afford it. I went with aftermarket and it looks pretty good, but the fit isn't the best.

I've been liking the bronze lately, don't see too many either so it would be a nice change. Just my .02

This is the other color I was thinking about Dupont base coat/clear coat “Sun Burnt Orange Metallic with Pearl”.

I saw this blazer posted on craigslist. It is a scam listing but I still like the color.

Thats a sweet color!!! I'm stuck in between that color, hugger orange and red/orange. I'm paint my hard top black and rubber coating most of the interior black. Any of those colors should make a blazer stand out, more than they already do, lol.
