im attempting to pick a color for my 72 c-10 not sure between factory copper and white or changing to new vette color or maybe HHR Avalanche

gmcdude · 10-20-2009, 09:16 PM

Look at mine under the pictures of the 67-72 above here, mine is the last one posted.

gmcdude · 10-20-2009, 09:18 PM

Here it is.

gcburdic · 10-20-2009, 09:33 PM

I have the sunburst orange metallic like gmcdude above....click on my build thread for pics!....

SIXSHOOTER 72 · 10-20-2009, 09:42 PM

i really like that color but i wonder what it would be like with two tone white and chrome

Longhorn Man · 10-20-2009, 10:51 PM

you wanting us to pic your paint, or show you trucks in those colors?

**special-K** · 10-21-2009, 08:35 AM

I can`t decide if I want it to have a stock finish or custom.

Johns72C10 · 10-21-2009, 09:47 AM

Here's my original paint on my 72.

fastom · 10-21-2009, 11:40 PM

We`re supposed to debate.I say factory.And to support my side of the debate,think this one over...only factory is factory.Other is,well,other.But,to add to the debate,there are other factory colors.

rogergodding · 10-22-2009, 10:03 AM

After toying with several stupid ideas, I figured I would just keep mine the factory color.....

SIXSHOOTER 72 · 10-22-2009, 09:42 PM

I am really leaning toward the atomic orange metallic, or the sunburst. They seem pretty close to one another, wonder which is cheaper.Besides that, Ithink i ll keep it factory [appearing] By the way This threadin thang is pretty cool! [new guy]

SIXSHOOTER 72 · 10-22-2009, 09:46 PM

gcburdic · 10-22-2009, 09:52 PM

heres my 72 with classic bronze paint

'72customdeluxe · 10-22-2009, 10:42 PM

Not many people have factory copper. Go with that IMO. One of my all time favorites along with dark blue and hugger orange. Almost got a copper long bed instead of my current one.

russj67 · 10-22-2009, 11:23 PM

Mine is the atomic orange. I'm not sure I have seen a truck atomic orange and white. how about a pearlescent white?

gcburdic · 10-23-2009, 10:14 AM
