help with color.
 
Hey all. I am thinking of changing colors on my 72 4x4. Originally dark olive green with white top and green interior. I was wondering what colors would look okay without changing the dark green interior. Any thought or suggestions would be great. Pictures would be perfect and thanks for helping a guy out.

Not too many colors that would flow very well with the dark green interior...

:agree: But if your set at looking at your options... Go to a paint shop with the Olive green color and see if they have any paint that might compliment the dark green interior. Just a thought. Good luck :metal:

The green would look great with white, silver or black. Dare to be different.

Leave most of the truck dark green, paint above the body line on the hood and cab silver, and break it up with a burgundy stripe.

You could paint the outside yellow and then have a John Deere look. :metal:

Thanks for the suggestions. I did see a 71 yesterday that had a green metallic paint similar to the green(s) on a mt.dew can. I thought that looked pretty sharp to be honest. May go a similar rout. Thoughts?

That could look sharp, especially with a gun metal or charcoal color to complement it, with a matched green pin stripe.
