I will be getting paint on the truck within the next month. It is currently original medium blue/white as per the pic.

Should I stick with the original medium blue, or go with a more modern metallic blue? I will be keeping the blue/white scheme.

Some pics of similar paint schemes would help as well.

Keep the original color scheme. They just don't look right when you use something different. That's a nice color.

Here's my wife's Blazer. I had a 72 truck that was the same colors as your truck, but I sold it before I ever got around to painting it.

Since we had about 1k dollars of paint left sitting around, we painted her Blazer using the paint when we restored.
