I think the bmw brown looks best, the olive looks good too. I would narrow it down to those two colors and if you decide you want it to look stock go with green and go with brown if you want a more custom look

I agree there, I actually just found some good shots of that BMW Marrakesh brown and like it even more now.

We just finished our truck and it is that Olive Green with some metalic and with saddle interior. Its "Our New 69C10 Project" its on the 2nd page of the builds now i think. Check it out if you want. Truck looks awsome

RocketKing · 08-28-2012, 05:01 PM

I am not a big brown fan but that BMW color is sweeeet.

I know! brown never really crossed my mind but some of these new browns are really catching my eye.

TchncnDen · 08-28-2012, 06:49 PM

Another vote for the brown!!

Fattback · 08-28-2012, 07:18 PM

Brown looks sharp

Bennett68C10 · 08-28-2012, 07:50 PM

I like the Olive Green, its a classic color that would look great on your truck. I still love the GM light Green though.

cAlvis165 · 08-28-2012, 08:19 PM

I'm in with the brown crowd. That BMW color would really pop on your truck.

jtp67-72 · 08-28-2012, 08:59 PM

Go back and look at that prowler inca gold for a 2-tone with that bmw brown.....omg.....saw my buddies PT Cruiser today in Inca Gold....liken it even more.....jim

72blueshark · 08-28-2012, 09:05 PM

i vote brown, and my truck came the olive and white... the copper and gold flake in the bmw brown make it so much more unique

**fakerwade** · 08-29-2012, 12:50 AM

Wow,,, that brown looks pretty good. I'm not normally a brown kinda guy, but, that does look good. Now you got me thinking about incorporating it into my paint scheme.

**hilljob26** · 08-29-2012, 01:17 AM

that baby is absolutly amazing..i love total custom stuff

I also have to agree with you too! I think with everything done to the truck a little classic paint job would be cool. My first choice for it was the 503 light green (sea foam) I still have that in the back of my mind.

That could be a very good two tone combo!

I went to pick up a pizza a couple of weeks ago and in the parking lot was a tricked out blazer of our years, slammed, four wheel slotted discs, nice interior. The paint? What paint? it was bare metal with clear applied directly to it. Very unique and very nice, I think your truck would be a perfect candidate for this treatment since its wow factor is in the chassis. Just a thought, but I still vote for brown if you do go with paint.

Here is my favorite vehicle EVER built bar none!! What about this color!!
