Thumbs up Re: I sprayed some color today

If I had to choose between those colors against a white cab I think the blue would look really nice. not too much bling but a sweet soothe color....... Classy....

Me too. The blue is "typical". Nice, but seen many times before.

Guess it would depend on your particular personality.

Re: I sprayed some color today

Are you using the stock (fawn) interior color?
Either color would look nice, I'd lean toward blue

Re: I sprayed some color today

Unless you want to go back to the stock color, then I guess it's ok...

Re: I sprayed some color today

It is the stock Turquoise Poly for the 60's trucks. I think the red is going to better with my theme. I have the black Chevrolet valvecovers. Need to put the valve covers next them. I will deciede by the end of next week I guess.

Between those two, I prefer the red. The metalflake makes it 'pop'.

Re: I sprayed some color today

I just brought them into the garage and I like the way the Red changes colors when it gets dark. It looks nice under the light also. So it looks like for now I am leaning towards the red.
As soon as I deciede the engine will get some paint next week.

Re: I sprayed some color today

I actually like both of them.

However if your going classic I would go blue, but if your going a bit custom I'd go with the red.
