Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

I think silver w/ red is a great combination. The first vette I ever saw with that scheme nearly stopped my heart! lol But, your truck will look stellar with the combo there is no doubt

But..(you knew it was comin)

As lolife said, those original paint colors with new paint/clear are amazing, the only reason my truck is not an original light blue color is because it was originally red and I just wanted to keep it red. Heck, even the original yellow looks fantastic on these trucks!

Either choice will be the right one, you will just have to pick the one YOU can live with.

I've always been a fan of tarnished silver (paint code wa994L).



Or you could make a custom silver. That is what i did on my old truck. I added green toner (DMD1678) and silver pearl (PRLX2) to a plain silver formula. In the evening it looked green and at night it looked like a factory silver. The pearl really make it change shades throughout the day. It was subte but custom which is what I like. Just a thought. Here is a helmet I painted to match. I never could get the green to show very well with a camera.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

You could always try a gray instead of a silver, like Audi's Dolphin Metallic. It is a gorgeous, deep gray.

However, I like what Supa'Fly said. Build YOUR truck. You've been building it for 8 yrs. Do what you like. Besides, there is prolly a reason why you see many silver trucks with red interiors.

I know you're not going to go for this,... but that factory bright yellow would be sweet.
(you either like or HATE yellow)
I like it.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

how about Stryker Blue Metallic (from the 09 Pontiac G8 GT), and pearl white, or White Hot (also from the 09 G8) that way it will even be GM colors ???

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Really, no matter what you do....it'll be something that someone has done before unless you do some wild graphic (don't )

Your vision was silver with red....it'll look very classy...and yours would be the first 67 with trim in a silver with red interior I've seen....plus....none have had those 6 lug rims

Go with the original 67 silver poly color in a base/clear paint with the red interior.

Re: 67 cheby's Dropmember build thread

Mercedes silver timeless. Classy and it will go great with the style of your truck. Stick to your original plan. Do silver with red interior. If you plan to stripe add silver leaf that is machine turned and outlined in red. You will get some many people that like it. Silver can't be played out. Good luck
