New from Va with paint question
« on: February 10, 2013, 05:56:54 pm »
Hi y'all I'm new here from Va just bought my first 86 k10 a few months ago and it is getting ready to go to paint. I'm torn between black and viper red. Just wondering if y'all had any input/pictures. I'd like to see some pictures of black with some pearl or metal flake in it if you have any.

I am partial to white or red...  My yellow truck I bought that way, not my choice...

If you are going for a factory appearance then I would pick red or white.
If you want to go "off the wall" so to speak you could try something like this.

Note... this is not my truck but it belongs to a guy on a hunting forum I visit.

No, that is seam sealer.
