OARNGESI · 09-15-2009, 04:04 AM

gcburdic · 09-15-2009, 02:54 PM

Sunburst Orange Metallic

chevy_mike · 09-15-2009, 03:25 PM

Man do I know this feeling. One day it's one color, next day something different... and on and on.

I swear I need 12 trucks just so I can do all the different combos I want.

Good luck in your hunt.

drewfever1020 · 09-15-2009, 07:54 PM

im still looking

russj67 · 09-15-2009, 08:24 PM

Atomic orange

big mike71 · 09-15-2009, 08:25 PM

Check out the burgundy on a new Nisson 350z. If I was painting something I would seriously consider it.

gmcdude · 09-15-2009, 09:07 PM

I to have the sunburst orange metallic, the person that I bought the truck from unfinnished had picked this color and it grew on me.

hemihead · 09-15-2009, 09:15 PM

1972 Chev Steel Cities Grey Metallic is what I finally decided to go with.

Awesome classy color.

drewfever1020 · 09-15-2009, 10:20 PM

those colors are nice im not gonna lie!
what about some greens?
what are the good tones of greens?
or maybe purples?

RocketKing · 09-15-2009, 10:42 PM

This is a color I painted on PS. Not a metallic but everyone loves it. It has been viewed almost 700 times, I painted about 8 other colors and they have only been viewed 38 times

POPO1984 · 09-15-2009, 11:12 PM

what color is that

**special-K** · 09-15-2009, 11:22 PM

I think metallic in black makes it look dirty.
Unless you`re ready to buy paint,I would wait to decide.I learned a long time ago that you`ll keep changing your mind everytime you see a color you like.I decide when it`s time to buy paint.

69lemans · 09-16-2009, 12:32 AM

I knew a guy had a S10 ,he painted the upper half Black Pearl(metallic),and the lower half White Pearl(tri-coat),then seperated them with a narrow red stripe. Was a real nice color combo

Stew215 · 09-16-2009, 12:58 AM

here is the color of my truck ... its a weird blue ... it looks light in the sun and almost purple at night ... im not sure of the color it was painted before i bought the truck

basemodel67 · 09-16-2009, 01:27 AM

I swear I'm not gay, but I kinda think the Mary Kay pink on the new Cadillac's is a cool color. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm gonna go shave my legs...

Beatcoaster · 09-16-2009, 01:40 AM

<--rattle can fiesta in progress - Rustoleum 'Black Night Metallic'

It's a really dark gray/gunmetal with a silver/gold flake that really pops when the sun hits it...I am waiting to post pics until I get done but so far it is turning out really good - here is the test panel that I sanded with 2000 and hand rubbed to see if it would even smooth out. A full line of compunds/polishes and some hand sanding will make it turn out pretty nice I think...

big_al_71 · 09-16-2009, 07:23 AM

I would have to say Vivid Black (Harley Davidson Black on motorcycles) it is unbelievable...The engine compartment in my truck is that color and when I repaint my truck it will be that color...just like my streetglide...

**70cst** · 09-16-2009, 08:17 AM

I have stayed with my factory colors...my truck is to be finished the end of this month. I hope.

grancuda · 09-16-2009, 08:27 AM

What color was the truck stock?

I would stay away from metallics because you have to go with a base/clear. If you do a color w/o metallics then you can go with a single stage and really rub it out to look like a mirror. I would especially do that with black.

Not sure which truck you are addressing but mine is Light Olive upper and Dark Olive lower. I think 501 & 502 but I might be wrong.
