Saw this one on ebay today http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Chevr...5fTrucks#v4-37

Interesting two tone ...

Notice how across the back of the cab there is a white pinstripe, the doors are body color, but the a pillars are white and the cowl is body color.

Sounds goofy, but I think the look works, IMO.

bumping this thread back up...

I'm not sure if I want to keep it this way or if I want to do the traditional two tone. I kinda like this one...but I also do like the traditional one too....decisions decisions. And that's just 1 coat of white gloss tractor paint. It needs some touchups but it's not all that bad really. The window gaskets are getting replaced, and the rest of the truck will eventually be painted blue. I wasn't all that percise with my masking. Here's what it looked like in primer.

So what do you guys think? Keep it like it is or do the traditional thing?

....and lakeroadster...isn't that white pinstripe you're talking about in that last photo really just a chrome trim piece between the custom cab sail panels?

Hmmm.... might be a chrome strip, similar to the way they did the '60's. In either case, I like it. To me a paint line needs a pinstripe beside it to finish it off unless the paint line terminates at a major body line.

That is why I like the non-stock two tone that breaks at the rear pillar and is not on the doors or the front post. Especially with the custom cab sail panels.

I'm getting close to a two tone paint job....

**tazattitude** · 03-11-2011, 11:37 AM

Thanks for the reply. I figured that's why probably at least all the original 2-tones had their roof white. I like the two tones you attached, but I left my Custom trim on. Guess I could 2-tone from there up.
Thought just the 2-tone with the roof, top of door, and the posts would look pretty cool....I mean pretty hot. Yea, I guess 'hot' especially down here in FL

pat66 · 04-26-2011, 06:30 AM

Not too fond of the color,but it's growing on me.That's what I get for being color blind and asking the wifey for help.

I had a buddy who painted his 'burb that some color, but in gloss. I didn't think I would like it, but it really looked good.

Thats a sharp truck! Chevy always came through with nice style on every body change. I had an '86 long fleet that I painted black w/GM Teal below chrome line, chrome bumbers & spun aluminum solid wheels on it that looked very good. It was my company truck for construction, but it was too nice for that so I traded it in on a car for my ex! Those early to late '80's truck are nice ones for sure.

triple D, you've got some NICE rigs there my friend. While I'm obviously partial to blue/white combos, I love the 4 wheeler - really dig the painted on trim (if I am remembering correctly from another thread). Cool trucks.
