Hey my 84 k10 is the same color. My kids call it the turd! Ill be doin a first time spray gun paint job on it soon! My 72 chevelle has been in black satin rattle can for 10 years. Not bad but its time for some shine on it now and the k10 is the guine pig!
-
kool ive never seen another truck the same color as mine...and my dad has a 76 chevelle that hes also spray painting satin black...he sanded it down putting self etching primer and then painting it
-

some shade of grey if your going with a black dash pad. Need some contrast in color.

like a lighter or darker gray? what about a metallic silver or something
-
I think shade of grey is based on preference. Id prefer a medium metal flake grey. Metallic silver wouldnt look to bad as long as you had some billet or brushed aluminum on the dash to go with it.
-
Are you going to paint all the metal exposed that same?

what metal are you talking about? the metal on the dash?
-
You said the bottom half of the dash, and it is metal?
-
yes if/when i paint it its going to be all the same color...im not going to paint different parts of the metal different colors
-
Then I am officially confused on what you meant by the bottom half of the dash.
-
lol theres the dash pad on the top, then the bottom half is all metal like where the glove box is
-
That is what I thought you were saying. From the factory, if the outside was black everything else was also.
And your statement above was asking what color to paint it. I was just saying to paint it the same color if all the other metal inside is going to be the same as the outside.
-
so your saying i should paint my dash black and put a black dash pad?
-
no I am saying from the factory they came that way.
What color are you doors going to be? What color are the door panels? There is a way to make them match, I was just going with what you said that if you painted the metal all of the metal would the same color.
-
right now the door panels are black...and im probably going to wait on painting the inside of the doors for right now but ill probably just paint those black too
