Cab painted......try again!

Last time I attempted this, it didn't work when I used my ISP space as a reference for my photo. When I viewed my post, I could see the pic, but I guess know one else could......maybe someone could shed some light, cuz I just don't know!!!

...anyway, finally painted my cab after an extremely agonizing struggle with color choice!! Initially wanted Silver and even painted the underside of the cab. Really love silver, but just wanted something with a little more "kick" and saw this color from time to time on C5 Corvettes (Nassau Blue). The color got my attention and reminded me somewhat of Marina Blue, so I "just did it".....figuring if I don't get some color on it, it's never gonna get fricken done!!!

Current plan is all this color with lower moldings and nostalgia type wheels (truck currently has about a 5/7 drop). Truck was originally yellow and white with upper and lower moldings and I'm still kicking around doing the white with the Blue with the upper moldings back on...........decisions, decisions, decisions!!!!!

Man, that color looks good on a truck, too! You're right. It's really close to Marina Blue (as seen on my Chevelle), but just a bit darker.

Shuttermutt that is my dream car. I would give anything for a Marina Blue 67 Chevelle, but I cant afford "anything"
