paint job ideas - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Just for future reference. I was wondering what paint jobs you guys think look best on our trucks so I could have an idea of what will look good and what wont. Should I redo the trim and do a two-tone, primer it, or one solid color. Also what colors do you guys think look good on our trucks?

brad2 · 02-20-2003, 12:43 AM

You have my least favorite colors. I would rather see it solid brown than brown and tan. Solid colors always will look good. I like a two tone on our trucks when the line is high on the truck. Like above the body line. One of my favorite colors right now is silver. There is also a awesome green on the Infiniti G35.

i think mines gonna be the same color maroon with white tribal flames all over the front.

85 GMC · 02-20-2003, 10:37 AM

Mine was cream and dark brown , but we went with a solid custom dark brown metallic.
I still like the solid cream trucks though.

Low87 · 02-20-2003, 11:16 AM

There are so many different paint jobs that look good on our trucks. If you do graphics you have to use the body line and not hide it, otherwise it almost looks like a Ford. Grey primer seems to be popular.

I'd say anything but scallops.

LOHRTBT · 02-20-2003, 12:46 PM

I have always been a fan of solid color with a small accent color worked in...or ghost flames...
I like mine since you rarely see Scallops anymore... but now I am starting to see more of it again. hehe....commin back!

Butteater??? Are you not the one who mentioned in a post before you left something about eating out of an @$$ with a spoon??? Man, you are twisted!

LOHRTBT · 02-20-2003, 02:44 PM

HAHA Yessir I am
And it was Izzy that was instructed to eat my a$$ with a spoon!! haha
But he wanted to use a spork!!

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 02:46 PM

I really like the paint on this one:

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 02:50 PM

This one is nice too:

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 02:58 PM

Damn, this one is just "tha bomb", notice the custom "hood chips" that have been added to the hood. Wow alot of time must have gone into that custom work

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 03:01 PM

Black always looks good, but can be a pain to keep looking good.

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 03:03 PM

This one has some nice flames, even though I dont like the green outline.

LOHRTBT · 02-20-2003, 03:03 PM

Those are all nice...even the custom chipped hood one!

85 GMC · 02-20-2003, 03:09 PM

PHOENIX , THAT IS ON NICE RIDE. VERY VERY NICE. tHE BLACK ONE , i LIKE THE BLACK ONE.

PHOENIX · 02-20-2003, 03:13 PM

Just so there is no misunderstanings, the only one that belongs to me is the custom hood chip one.

I plan to get rid of the custom hood chips one day.
Its just not as popular as I though it would be, what was I thinking?

Prerunner1982 · 02-20-2003, 03:37 PM

i liked my metallic bronze and tan two tone... so all youll can bite me. theres not many paint jobs i dont like on our trucks, except for those with big multi-colored splash jobs...it depends on the truck, Daves truck looks good, but take his paint job and put it on my or Brandons truck.. wouldnt look right.

Low87 · 02-20-2003, 03:51 PM

Those are some sweet trucks. I like it when a 2-tone job uses the body line as a break point.

**Captkaos** · 02-20-2003, 04:21 PM

I LOVE 2 tone paint!!!! Especially on a tricked out stock looking body.... Like Beck Racing's '73....

thanks for all the ideas guys. I have been leaning toward grey for a long time because its one of my favorite colors. Maybe solid grey with a flame design in the front, or a two tone grey and something else.

**smokinn** · 02-20-2003, 05:32 PM

I like the color of mine.
