Re: HELP!!! Blue two tone pics needed

What do you mean? Were you standing in a paint shop when you started this thread?

What color combo did you go with specifically?

Thanks truckfan. Thats really close to what im going for. I think my blue will be a little lighter, and it will be low with stock ralleys. But I think you got me about as close as Im going to see untill mine is done

J/D/S: We can check out your green truck anyhow. This thread will just get hijacked for all the blue/white combo lovers out there

No I was just looking for different color ideas. I ended up with a avocado green.

Re: HELP!!! Blue two tone pics needed

Mine was originally just the light blue, hence why the fenders and cab are. My buddy has an 87 Chevy that's blue with grey on the roof and along the bottom and it looks decent.

you have a great idea i am doing the exact thing almost, im doing stock light blue poly W/ cadillac pearl white. unless if you want dark blue i really like ford shadow blue met. with gray or white accent. the cool thing about shadow blue met is it comes in different bases so it can be lighter or darker. ive also seen the shadow blue on a chevy with a lighter blue in the middle.

Re: HELP!!! Blue two tone pics needed

In 1969 the paint code 53 was called glacier blue for camaro, mystic blue for pontiac, other gm brands called 53 different names. The paint is mixed in PPG Global line of paints. I went to several car shows and looked at paint on cars and trucks before deciding on this color. Color charts don't give you as good a sample as the real thing.
