Re: Exterior Colors - Opinion Pole

Looking at the poll results, the Dark Blue only won here by 3 votes. I am partial to the Medium Blue, so adding my vote, it is only by 2 votes...lol.

We will see what we end up with, but for now I am going with the Code 23 Medium (Hawaiian) Blue. The Dark Blue is a great color, but will show any body work flaws more than the medium blue in my opinion...

Now to decide on the interior color...

Only a few colors that won't go with blue. Browns and Tans.

Blue, Green, Red, Black, and Gray interiors will all work with blue sheet metal.
I doubt GM did red or green interior with blue exterior.

I have no issue paint the interior sheet metal a different color to go with the upholstery...

as for blue sheet metal with brown or tan, Look at two trucks Mike Losh has built, Cloud 9 and Square Peg. Both have build threads on this forum.

That is a great combination especially with all the side trim in place!

Re: Exterior Colors - Opinion Pole

My 84 GMC is the 17 Silver/29 Midnight Blue 2-tone. That dark blue is dark!

I looked all over hell for something that was close to it when I was putting some 'corrosion control' on my new tailgate hinges. Nada. No dark blue I found in any brand or any store was dark enough.

I finally gave up and grabbed a couple cans of Duplicolor. Pretty color! Yeah, 29 blue is a good one.
