It will be all one color I found a couple colors i like, if you guys could give specific colors and examples of each I would appreciate.. Also these are trucks i found from other posts, if you guys could give me these colors from these trucks i would appreciate it.

This is sorta like a Killarney Green I believe

I like the diarhea green that the 67-72's come in, Dion has a truck that color. Probably most people hate it but I love it.

I say paint it the original color. I'm a big fan of stock colors.

ditto 68CST, at least stick to a color from that era.

I love that green on the short step pic. Does anyone know the paint code, and where to get the paint?

gee emm- i agree i think that olive poop green is a real eye catcher

cam · 04-07-2003, 05:36 PM

that is medium olive, personally I prefer the dark olive

dion · 04-07-2003, 08:40 PM

Green!

sorry to hear that you want to keep it greenish.....because pink paint makes a truck go faster...

but I understand that chartruce is a close second........(if you don't know what color I mean, then go rent monty pithon's quest for the holy grail.........it's the color "rodney poofter is wearing)

I like forest green on your ton trucks, 4wds, and stepsides.

The olive green looks good on your 1/2 ton fleetsides... especially with two tone white and trim.

Strange how some colors fit different trucks better.

My brother-in-law has an original '71 SS402 Chevelle hardtop that's the original GM dark green metallic that's a pretty color. Go to an auto paint store and they can show you the paint chip for that color. I'm not a big fan of green but this color is sharp.
