Paint scheme idea!?! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

texascowboy593 · 01-17-2006, 05:47 PM

what do y'all think about a 67 GMC LWB painted flat black (primer style) with red accents and red steel wheels w/ baby moons? Too new of a body style for that scheme or cool concept? If you have any pics of 67-72's with this style, I'd like to see them... Thx, J

when i went to the goodguys show in NC seen a couple of hundred trucks painted like that OVERDONE

67ChevyRedneck · 01-17-2006, 05:57 PM

Yeah, sorry, but it's been done many times over. I do like it though. I think there was even a truck (chevy though) in a classic trucks feature with that exact scheme. Project old skewl (a 65 or 66 body style) was done the same way. I think wal-mart was even selling matchbox size "von dutch" trucks with a similar scheme. It's still a cool idea. My truck has been in flat black primer (and it shows) since '96.

LUV2XCLR8 · 01-17-2006, 06:25 PM

Agreed, overdone, unless you live in a rural area, IOW, the boonies

Longhorn Man · 01-17-2006, 06:26 PM

My old one;

Zumo · 01-17-2006, 06:37 PM

Yeah, You have to think outside the box.

cflvulcan · 01-17-2006, 06:41 PM

heres mine before i took it apart.

Premium72 · 01-17-2006, 06:46 PM

im doin smi/flat green(similar to the orginal color) with black accents. same idea. not played out.

*wolfthing2000* · 02-16-2006, 01:10 PM

Overdone??????? I think we need more like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NotEnuff$$$ · 02-16-2006, 01:16 PM

texascowboy593...

Definately would look sweet!

The flip side is that it is a 'trendy' look now-a-days.

powell72 · 02-16-2006, 10:28 PM

We went with green since the red is pretty popular.

Something a little different like Powell72`s is cool.These truck are too new for the typical "old school" look.They weren`t even new yet.

kingsolver72 · 02-16-2006, 11:41 PM

I always thought if I did one of my lwbs in flat black with a gloss black flames on the fenders and hood would be unique.

I am feeling you on that king. I am also thinking about painting my wheels green to like the one pictured. Where are those trim rings from?

powell72 · 02-17-2006, 06:58 PM

I agree with special-k, you can't get too carried away with the old school look. Something like wide whites and lake pipes on a flat black truck would be too far over the edge. Flat black with red wheels looks cool but don't look past other colors that would make the same statement. I think flat black with a pale yellow wheel would look really cool.

carl609 · 02-17-2006, 07:08 PM

some say it is overdone, but you can't deny it looks good. I havent seen any like mine around my area. I like the green wheels, that is cool

texascowboy593 · 02-17-2006, 07:29 PM

Carl609 you have the same LWB 67 GMC I got...Great pics guys. I appreciate it!

71chevytruckguy · 02-17-2006, 08:23 PM

my 69 swb is gonna be flat black on the out side with a satin red interoir and satin black engine compartment. i got a set of 15x8 mags that came on a parts truck. flat black might be over done but i don't care. i think it looks good and nothing's cheaper than spray paint. got a very tight budget.
