Light Olive Sierra Grande

[19gmc72]

Ok so i have a 72 sierra grande that was orinally the light med olive with a white top. ( i thinks it called medium olive? or light olive) since then it has been painted grey, and i want to change it back to the olive minus the white top. I really like the color of C10-Driver's but i think it is a little to flashy for mine and i think the original is too dull lol. it is a 4x4 and will have 4in of lift with the full trim. so i just want some peoples input on colors. add paint codes and pics if possible?

It`s Medium Olive and it`s not dull at all when it`s fresh.

And a white top would look good.

My 4x4 is medium olive with white top and it looks good as a color option. If you play with the pressure of the gun you can lighten or darken the color a bit. I can email you some pics of the bed (only thing painted at the moment) if you would like to see.

I'm still trying to get ahold of the guy who painted mine through the previous owner for the mix he used, but they have not gotten back. Mine has more gold metallic than the original, which really makes it shine nicely. It has held up good to as it is not garaged and is about 6 years old now.

P.S. thanks for the pic leddzepp

My truck was also medium olive.(or so my SPID says) After 38 years the paint was shot and I painted it this color which is Nason British Racing Green. Actually, I think it's closer to Forest green. The interior is still the original color because it held up OK and it kinda goes with the exterior color.

My truck was originally the medium olive as well but it was repainted many times since in darker greens but I found the medium olive in many places. I am about to repaint and thought that the medium olive again but I like something darker.

67chip72 that color looks really good!! it seems a little brighter than original (which i really like) but that could just be the pic.? i really wish i wouldnt have ground off the top trim studs so i could do a white top tho.

someone said there is a kit out there you can purchase that will allow you to reinstall the trim. Trevor

seems like its a special stud gun/ welder thing they use but ill do a search on the kit,,, it was rusting a little around the studs so i just took them off, i shoulda just treated the rust spots.., im really kicking myself now

My 72 is 504 medium olive, and when it's done it will have a white top even though it didn't come with the white top from the factory, I would just like it that way?

Here is my factory tuo tone green project...

I have seen this one around town.

I`ve seen some mixed with too much silver.It looks washed out.It should look almost like a candy apple green when done in BC/CC.Most people hated this color until more trucks were restored.They were judging by it`s tired state.It`s high metallic and was prone to fading.Shouldn`t have that with urethane.
