Lets see your paint jobs

[matt_field]

i need ideas for painting my 67 swb, i dont really want to go with anything original unless i really liked it, but lets see what people have out there

[Yukon Jack]

Here is my 69 - I based the color off of a Saturn metallic silver and had it lightened a little and more metallic added.

My dads green one and my blue one.

Here's one thats sure to draw attention to your ride. It's a satin black (not sure if it's Krylon or the Wal-mart equivalent) over the OE medium blue. The door has gray primer accents over OE Wheatland yellow. The patina you see on this rare specimen comes from years of dried on pine sap drippings from sitting in the woods. Not evident in the pics is a healthy dose of green mold on the lower bedsides giving it the "tropical rain forest" effect. Truely a multi-colored, multi-textural feast for the senses. A one-off, often imitated, never duplicated.

Note also the "rat-rod" red rims. This truck started that trend, as evidenced by the fact they are split rims with 30 year old weather-cracked radials. The coup-de-grace is the subtle use of broken (not sawed off) pressure treated deck railing in the stake pockets. I wanted something that would stand the rigors of New England, yet exude a rugged natural beauty. They've been carefully arranged to portray a Salvidor Dali-esque cognative dissonence.

Exactly! It started out as a low-mileage rust-free vehicle. An optioned out 72 Sierra Grande 3/4 ton 4x4. You know the kind, the one Gramps bought to go RV camping with and died a few years later, and from there it sat. I wanted to do something different so I "rustored" it. I sold or junked all the options and trim (buckets, tach dash, tilt, should belts, etc, etc), ripped off the clean sheetmetal ( I was surprised I didn't need a torch, but used one anyway ) , and proceeded to locate some "well-loved" pieces to replace them. Here it is, after years of work, a labor of love I call it, a one-off rustification. Whadda ya'll think?

A veritable mobile(?) Picasso.
