cant decide on paint
« on: December 06, 2010, 05:24:41 am »
I have a 85 GMC. I have changed it froma fleetside to a step side, I have installed a 6" lift and a set of 35" tires. This truck has become my babay and will never see a dirt road. This will be my crisue to the coffe shop truck. I cant seem to decide on a color. I was thinking black and know I am kinda turning towards carny yellow. Any body have any input on this. I am looking for something that will stand right out and shine real nice. I also like red but every truck uo here where I am seems to be red so thats out. I am also not going to be installing any chorme other than the bumpers and I am running Black rims. Any body have pics of there color that are a solid color I would love to see them, i am not a two tone fan.

If you're running black chrome I always liked yellow...

i agree on the red but all the old chevy's around here are Red or black. Really just want to stand out with a real nice color. nothing to flashy just some different. Now i am starting to lean towrads the new green I seen on the new cameros.

I've owned both yellow and green cars before.  I can tell you that it took a lot longer for the green cars to get old to me.  The yellow was easy to part with after looking at it for too long.
