Trying to decide on paint color - post pics of your truck to help! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

MrC1 · 09-28-2005, 09:46 PM

Hey guys, please post a pic of your truck if you happen to like the paint color. I've currently got a white farm truck and I'd like to throw something cool on it. Just not quite sure which way to go!

My favs so far are a few nice dark blues and reds that I've seen on the net. Help me decide!

Please?

Factory 1972 chevy truck two-tone paint code 482 taken from glovebox door.

Code calls for PPG #2366 Dark Blue and #2185 white.

These wer the original colors on my truck.

barn9 · 09-28-2005, 11:10 PM

I kinda lean towards red myself, hehee!

Stroker · 09-28-2005, 11:24 PM

It's really difficult to judge a color by pictures you find on the net or even in print. Go to some car lots and look for colors you like. I highly recommend you look at MARTINSRs "Basics of Basics" Color choice on the FAQ board.

WHYBYNU · 09-29-2005, 03:16 PM

My two/tone dark green/white 71....

sorry pic is alittle dark to show the true color green,
(looks almost black in the pic)

JOHN

VinceY · 09-29-2005, 04:00 PM

My 71 is blue that has a bit of a purple flip.
Turns heads, but next to impossible to keep it looking clean.
Dark colors show ever bit of dust, water spots, etc.
Silver is a great color for making your truck look clean all the time.
Hugger orange is not too bad either.

**hilljob26** · 09-29-2005, 06:01 PM

here is mine..tangier orange

see ten · 09-29-2005, 07:13 PM

My K10 is factory dark green and white(not the dark olive).

My C10 is factory medium red and white. Lots of people call it orange. Different lighting makes it look different shades.

farside847 · 09-29-2005, 07:44 PM

I like this thread.... sweeeeeeeeeet.
