Need opinions
I have a 72 Cheyenne that was med. red and white two toned. Planning on freshening the paint up but can't decide if I want to leave the white or swap it for black or charcoal.

Re: Need opinions
There are a lot of black, silver, and various shades of "charcoal" trucks around. There's something to be said for a nice factory-style paint combination. In my opinion, the two-tone deluxe paintjobs are the best looking on our trucks. And, while I'm not a huge fan of red, red and white do make a great looking paintjob on a truck like your '72!
Good luck with your repaint, no matter what you decide!!

Re: Need opinions
I think the best color combo is Medium Red.

Re: Need opinions
First off factory colors are the way to go. But if you wanted somethng a little different maybe a variation on the GMC red/maroon scheme would work out for you. Thinking maroon/red/maroon/red in the deluxe style scheme you now have.
