I can't make up my mind!!!!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

billsc30 · 09-06-2011, 07:22 PM

It is just about time to paint the C-30. I am stuck between arctic white and Hugger orange. Both? Hugger orange with an arctic white racing stripe? Any input would be great.

two tone? tangerine and white? I have a head ache!

turp mcspray · 09-06-2011, 08:38 PM

Doesn't seem like much of a decision. White is for houses, picket fences, and wedding dresses. Not vehicles. These trucks were made for orange. As you can probably guess, I'm not a fan of white. LOL!

bigguy69 · 09-06-2011, 08:46 PM

I vote orange!

Both if you're using trim.Just the one or other if not.Or do bed white and body orange.

**70cst** · 09-06-2011, 09:26 PM

I can't make up my mind. I have seen these trucks painted orange and white and with combos...You get to paint your flavor. If it's your choice its the right choice.

**71swb4x4** · 09-06-2011, 09:46 PM

White orange white orange (top to bottom). Not sure how it would look without factory trim but it looks like you have a bed

so throw the trim on too!

Hubscrub · 09-06-2011, 10:22 PM

white for sure these trucks are beautiful in white (there is a couple threads on white trucks) here in tenn. i would never do a white/orange truck people would think i was a Tenn Vols fan

I like white vehicles but these trucks look best in orange. Hugger gets my vote

I vote orange. I mean real orange (tangier), not some orange want-a-be (hugger).

fastwillie 696969 · 09-06-2011, 11:26 PM

orange it

laplander · 09-06-2011, 11:29 PM

I like orange, I like orange and white, but NEVER orand with white stripes. These trucks just don't look right with stripes IMHO.

tanman722001 · 09-06-2011, 11:30 PM

I say orange for sure.If you dont have the chrome.You could do white pin strip

Longhorn Man · 09-06-2011, 11:41 PM

Do you have a third color in mind... one that looks good? (ducking from rocks being thrown)

**special-K** · 09-07-2011, 09:05 AM

Orange you going to paint it? Ok,then that settles it.

68Stepbed · 09-07-2011, 10:29 AM

Hubscrub, what's with wrong with the Vols?

I really don't get into sports much either, so it really doesn't bother me. It's fun to rekindle some rivalries between fans occasionally, though.

Seeing that I'm only a 45 min drive from the UT campus, I do like to cheer on the home team.

Anyway, I beleive we have officially jacked this thread.

To the OP, have we helped you decide on a color or color combo yet?

i agree, but do the white a little lower so that you can do the hood also instead of the stripes. something like this

treveiger · 09-07-2011, 11:26 AM

How about something like mine, Orange with cream white pearls in both?

srvivor71 · 09-07-2011, 01:10 PM

I always thought this would be a cool paint scheme for our trucks...

**Palf70Step** · 09-08-2011, 08:06 AM

I am partial to white or the 2 tone.

billsc30 · 09-13-2011, 02:57 PM

Srvivor 71 knows exactly what I was thinking. I saw a pic of one of these camaros the other day at Space age Paints and It clicked.

71sierragrande · 09-13-2011, 08:36 PM
