Title: gonna paint my truck so lets see some trucks
Post by: Rib Tickler on August 15, 2010, 10:32:35 am
Hey guys, I finally stripped all the ugly pinstripping and mouldings off my truck and am goint to do a little body work to it then paint but am undecided what color to paint it. I`d like to see your trucks so I can try to decide on a color, it`s white now but I`m tired of white, I`m actually thinking of a light green metallic color, or maybe a two tone...I dunno.

Help please.

I`ve been through that thread already. there`s got to be more pics out there though.....lets see`em. I`d put mine on but there are too big. I`ll take some more photo`s in lesser quality and get them on here. I`m wanting to paint maybe next weekend if the weather cooperates!

Im sure no one is holding out on their pic collection. Try using a search engine in the "image" area.

best piece of advice I can think of is what color do you want? maybe ask for that color or go to google go to image and type in 73 chevy truck or pickup and change the numbers all the way to 87 and maybe change chevy to chevrolet or gmc. That'd bring up alot or go to cardomain and look or even ebay.

Well thanks guys...... I found a pic eventually on here that is close to what I want but maybe not so green, or lighter green. I also went over to the 67 to 72 chevy forums and found an unreal amount of pics....apparently they have more pride in their trucks here`s a pic of a 72 that I love.

How about instead of talking crap, you use GOOGLE. then goto the images part...  or better yet add the color you want to the search...    Also greens a very UNcommon color, so you won't get many replies.  don't get like that over here because you're too lazy to do some typing dude.

I agree not a smooth move exlax, I take pride in everythng just cause someone doesn't drop everything and post pics for you doesn't mean anything. Ever stop and think maybe guys here work for a living or are out working on their own trucks? When you don't post a specific color no one knows what you want. Like I had said before, ebay, google, cardomain, tons of pics and places to start if you have not found it on the members rides section here.

Whew, you guys aren't cutting any slack today (deserved)!  I know there are tons of pictures on this site--must be thousands.  Is there any way to search for images just from this domain or other way to search for pics only without reading through threads?

I don't think there's an image only search my best guess is just go to the members rides and start looking, probably gonna have to read threads. If not and you don't want to read go to ebay, or cardomain or google and search?
