Does this get you excited - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I took a pix that I found on here (thanks BillyDonn) and ran it thru a photoshop to see if I the color scheme I had in mind would work. So what do you think? Does it look good or just plain stupid?

don't care too much for it, but if you like it, go for it!!

Tim64 · 08-08-2008, 11:16 AM

I think it's cool! Rock On

doesn't do anything for me....is that salmon?
i personally don't like racing stripes on our trucks...
but if you dig it, then do it!

I am thinking of a flat black strip down the hood for when the sun reflects off the hood and blinds me at that certain time of day. As for the stripes. I can do with or without them so I guess I am neutral. If you like it then go for it. I can say that the salmon color is not my favorite but that is me and it is your truck.

very bright..

Nice job. I have the same truck, and I was toying with the same idea, but still unsure if I like it enough to attempt it.
I envisioned wider stripes, maybe widen them toward the outsides a little.
Just a thought.

It doesnt do anything for me sorry.

64c20crewcab · 08-08-2008, 03:47 PM

Props on the skills. But sorry - the colors dont work for me. Flames, scallops, pinstrip, 2-tones paint schemes and such work on these trucks. Racing stripes belong on certain cars - IMO. But its your rig and if ya dig it - do it.

ClassicAutoResto · 08-08-2008, 07:22 PM

IMO it would look better with the stripes a little wider and in white or white pearl. Just a thought. Jerry

suzq044 · 08-08-2008, 08:19 PM

I like the stripe idea, but not so much the color combo.. Maybe a dark blue paint scheme with dark gunmetal stripes?

After my last post on this I though wider stripes may work on this. Give a try. Lets see what can be done. Ya never know.....

**Chevy Fleetside** · 08-08-2008, 09:45 PM

OMG I just thought of something.. Wait untill Billydon sees what you did to his truck...
