Ochre Metallic

Anyone with an ochre colored blazer ever consider restoring with a metallic finish? Or have any pictures of one already done?

Re: Ochre Metallic

my '72 is OCHRE... I'm still not crazy about the color but it was "born" that way and I'm used to it now.(I know the white panel isn't original for a Blazer)

Re: Ochre Metallic

I actually like ochre, I may even paint mine that color. I like the two tone!

Re: Ochre Metallic

Wow, Rusty that thing is gorgeous. I just picked up a 72 Blazer 2wd. It came stock with the ochre, but someone had painted it dark metallic green. Yours makes me want to put it back to original. Or maybe with a similar white like yours.

Re: Ochre Metallic

Thanks Timski, took it to a show in Titusville today. BEAUTIFUL topless afternoon. I'm sure you'll enjoy yours what ever color it turns out.
