I'm just not a fan of the original color combo. I don't like the original Dark Blue at all. If I painted it a factory blue it would be the 507 Light Blue and White. My truck had a repaint at some time with what looks like a lighter blue then the original Dark Blue but you can see the Dark Blue coming through in a lot of spots.

Played around with the paint shop program a little more today, I love this thing probably not what I need with my inability to decide what I want is a thousand paint options

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Worked on the truck a little today, took my front clip apart so I could get the fenders stripped down to see what I really have. Looks like I have a little rust work to do but not as bad as I thought. I was thinking about taking them down to bare metal by blasting them and fixing the rust spots or I could just fix the couple of rust spots and clean up the surface rust and rock the Patina but with new trim and emblems. I would need to figure out how to get my doors to match since I completely reskinned them and they are no longer the original color.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

The colors look great man, I'm torn between the orange and blue on mine but either way I dont think we could go wrong. I'll probably go with orange, but my grille will be 2001~ish Z06 Corvette Speedway White. It's kinda more vanilla color but you almost have to see it beside pure white to even tell it's not really white. Solid hugger with a white grille section (no white top) is sharp too!

Thanks buddy, I'm like a kid playing with a new toy. Only this one lets me try out a million different color combos for my truck. Just what I needed right at least you have yours narrowed down to 2 colors, I'm stuck on like 5-6 different color combos.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Hey Bennett, does that paint program have an option for a cowl hood and different grilles?

It does have the option for a cowl hood but doesn't quite look right to me. It is a single vehicle program so there wasn't an option that I could see with respect to changing the grill. For the 68 you can turn the grill trim on and off and also change the color of the trim.

Yeah for the price of the program I think it is worth it, especially if you are torn between different paint combos like I am. If you already know exactly what you want then it probably wouldn't be worth it.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB

Well, my thing is, I know what I want, I just want to see if it is going to look as good in reality as it does in my head. Plus, I can try a few different combos, it looks like a lot of fun to play with!

Those fenders look pretty nice from where I'm sitting. Wish I would have had the extra cash for that group buy. Those tanks are really nice.
