color opinions

Trucks at the body shop. Havnt picked a color code yet...
Whats the thought of modern colors on old cars.
Im really liking lazer blue from a mini cooper or
09 surf blue from dodge...

Or a old school marina blue from a late 60's corvette.

Re: color opinions

what year truck? stock wheels or high polished or chrome aftermarket? 2 wheel or 4x4? im in the same boat as you. i have an 85 shortbed 4x4 im redoing. im 99% sure im going white with black interior. it looks great and period correct. i love silver though. it makes any car or truck look good standing still. if you like blues, i like light quasar blue metallic of of a 93-94 chevy truck. awesome color. any blue you picked would look good imo. any pics?

Re: color opinions

Im kinda partial to the Marina Blue, especially since its a factory GM color. But Indigo Blue is my favorite. Thats the dark pearl blue that came on the 90s c/k trucks.

Looks good man. I still need to go by your place sometime and check out your truck. That dash looks so good in there man. Looks like your work is paying off.
