I think the ice blue would be perfect with ton of chrome, Jay6776s truck proves that the darker blue only needs little chrome to set it off.

I love the two tone schemes. The pic above is the same colors and scheme of the Blazer I had. I also thought about a two tone for my stepper too but not sure how the bed would turn out. Maybe follow the bodyline in the rear fenders or paint just the whole fender the middle color. I don't know. Might need someone to do that photoshop thing.

White always looks right. That's my motto. It's also a very forgiving color and, considering the climate in your area, white would be right in my opinion. I like the Ice Blue with a two tone scheme.

ghazi...
I got have that blue code I was telling you about. It's "wa214m" (Bermuda Blue/Bluegreen Crystal). Just go to your local paint supplyer and check it our or the dealership. This color is on some of the denali's, avalaches and some cars. Its too bad I couldnt send you a sample to the U.S. I made a couple spray bombs to test on my truck. Let me know what you think.

Thanks buddy ... I really really appreciate the time & effort searching for that code ..
I will ask a local paint shop for samples of suggested colors for final decision. I think the Bermuda is close to what I have on the Blazer, I will give it a shot too.

So did u decide on a color yet?
I think if i had to do it over again with my truck I would have done it a liter color silver , white ect ect I have been wet sanding and buffing and wet sanding o did i mention i have been wet sanding and buffing for days.. I'm so sick of buffing and still not happy with how it looks. last time I do a dark color on something soooo long.
i do still think its going to look good when i'm done. Just alot more work. I have not forgot about getting them pics up far ya every time i go to put something on I find something broke or wore out that I have to replace.
later jay
