Need Help picking out a paint color

[68Stepbed]

Nothing wrong with resale red if your gonna get rid of it, but you stated you don't want red. Beleive it or not, the two best selling colors are black and silver. How straight is the body? If you don't think it would be a good candidate for black, go with silver. Original colors would be best for resale. White does look nice on the 67-68 trucks, but it doesn't sell well. Many buyers overlook white vehicles because white hides so much. They tend to be scared of them.

As you stated, you like flashy colors. Some flashy colors just don't sell well. Stay away from bright oranges, yellows and loud blues and loud greens. As I said above, original colors are best.

Id have to agree with him. For resale purposes dont go wild on it. I personally tend to like non-factory paint and a more custom look, but the majority of people want something that is factory correct, maybe figure out what a "rare" color for that modle year was and go with that. Rare factory colors are usually popular.

eletric blue is flashy.

to be different a nice base clear metallic tan/brown/bronze ish color would make me snap my neck, especially with the chrome.

This sounds like some real good advice , black is always a good choice but it does need really strait sheet metal now silver sounds like it would be almost as forgiving as white but would not show dirt like black or the white, I have a 72 but I don't remember if that was a color offered that year.
