Title: COLOR SUGGESTIONS
Post by: dustin neal rose on March 04, 2009, 04:54:17 pm
I have an 86 Chevy 1/2 ton 4x4 swb. It is a hunter green color,sort of. It is a fairly dark green with tan interior. Just 1 month after buying it a guy backed into me and caved in the front pass side fender. Will be replacing it soon and was wanting to do a two tone paint job. I want to leave the green as one of the colors because the interior paint is green and i dont want to get into all of the hassle of tearing into that.
  I thought about making the other color same as interior. Does anyone have a pic of a green and tan truck that i could look at before i do this?
  Also i think i am gonna paint it from the seam /bend. in the side as opposed to the traditional spot a few inches above that and i will go all the way to the bottom with that color since i have no side trim. I have factory style wheels and will paint them whatever color i paint from the bend up.

Go with a bright Silver. That would really stand out

I think Red and Green looks really cool together.

Here is the original pic along with some other options i butchered in photoshop.Take into consideration that the interior color is similar to the tan color in the second pic.
