Calling all "WILD" paint colors. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

monte0185 · 03-09-2009, 10:38 PM

Well I was considering going with a regular pewter and white paint job on my new project but with all thats been done on it I dont think thats gonna be fitting for it anymore. So If you have any Wild Interesting colors in mind Post examples. I caught myself looking at Grabber Green but after I seen a few vehicles with that color im not sure now. Cars seem to look ok with it but trucks im not so sure about. Please help!!

PanelDeland · 03-10-2009, 08:14 AM

I really like the mettalic of the second one but that truck is definitely not my style.I'm not relly into green but i think that mettalic look in a copper would be good.

monte0185 · 03-10-2009, 09:00 AM

I seen a mustang on google that someone had painted what they called grabber blue. Looks kinda like the first pic. Now that I see it on the truck it just looks awesome!!! Heres a pic.

Im liking the blue Stacy David used on project banshee.The paint code is on his web site.

Hammer57 · 03-10-2009, 05:45 PM

Kinda partial to the color they painted "Copperhead" Check out gearztv.com.

monte0185 · 03-10-2009, 06:00 PM

I really like copperhead also but then Id just be copying him. Besides its not out there enough for this truck. I want one of those paint jobs you notice when i hit town from the other side of it.

i would go with the second pic in thirds post,but the blue in the first post looks really good my uncle has a similar color in his tribal flames its a ford but it looks sick

Richard8971 · 03-10-2009, 08:38 PM

Here is mine. Lamborghini California orange pearl.

Pretty bright in the sun and the orange pearl lights up awesome. Looks decent in the shade too, nice clean orange.

monte0185 · 03-10-2009, 09:53 PM

Im diggin the orange but everyone and their neighbor around here has some car or truck thats orange. TN go figure!!!

ed2552 · 03-10-2009, 10:01 PM

Here's the color of my car:

Sliver Steel Gray Metallic. Factory Color, paint code 806K, IIRC.

VA72C10 · 03-10-2009, 10:31 PM

You mentioned pewter and white...how about pewter and black or dark grey like this one

monte0185 · 03-10-2009, 10:34 PM

The pewter and grey are cool too!! I wonder how it would look on a fleetside.

VA72C10 · 03-10-2009, 10:47 PM

Throw your truck ( a good picture) and that picture onto the Photoshop board and see if someone can help you out. They'll probably do a couple diff. color options for you if you ask nicely

Sometimes it feels that way. But there are not that many orange trucks here. A few, but not enough to make mine the same as everyone elses. I love orange.

HuggerCST · 03-12-2009, 03:27 PM
