Re: Fitting double duces on 72 GMC

That medium olive when it goes bad looks like puke. But, when it shines with all it's rich metallic depth it's almost a candy apple green. I've had trucks that color with gone paint I was prepping for paint and people would ask what color it'll be. They make a face they don't realize and kinda give an "oh, I see" reaction...like they think it's a mistake but don't want to hurt my feelings. Then once painted, "That thing looks Grrrrreat! (you know, like Frosted Flakes). Night and day difference between sides.

Re: Fitting double duces on 72 GMC

SpecialK it is a day and night difference in the wet sanded and the olive drab mess. Some folks like the flat paints and think I shouldn't do anything to it. Leave it like it is. My favorite color on these trucks is that med green metallic.
