Title: Paint scheme ideas
Post by: ewingwr on August 03, 2014, 09:15:36 pm
Hey all, long time reader, first time poster.  I've got an 83 c1500 I've been building, and I'm in the process of choosing paint, but I could use some outside opinions.  The truck is the two tone brown and tan or whatever that's supposed to be.  I like the brown interior, but I don't like the stock colors outside.  The question I'm posing is this.  What colors could be a good option on the outside that would go well with the brown interior?  Ultimately I can change the interior color if needed, but at the present time I'm trying to stay with the brown.  Suggestions?  Thanks in advance

     Welcome to the site. 
     If you are wanting to keep the brown interior, and keep the two tone outside, I would suggest keeping 1 of the outside colors brown to match the interior.
     If you are not wanting a two tone outside, then most defiantly not brown outside.  I would think another earth tone would go good, like a blue or grey.

We took out the blue seats and red dash and are installing tan interior. And probably gonna go with orange and white outside

Welcome to the site, ewingwr. I'm currently updating my brown interior to tan, and at some point will get a new paint job too. I like the two tone in this pic.
