Time for Paint - looking for photos to help decide - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JGross · 06-05-2014, 09:49 AM

It's time to make a decision on the color for my 65 short fleet, and I'm back and forth between a fawn color and a charcoal gray. I'm looking for photos of both to help me make the final decision. I would be gratefull for any help.

Thanks

I am partial to the charcoal or hot rod flat black look.....Maybe even a two tone with that combination.

This isn't my truck, just a pic from the net.

I like the look do you have the paint codes for that color?

If you post a pic of your truck, there are a few members on here that work wonders in photoshop. They can manipulate they photo to any color you want.

That would be wonderful if someone could do that for me. This is my truck just before I took it apart for final bodywork.

Thanks, I do like it, it hides dirt very well

. I did this paint job in my garage and know it was temporary so it's not very good. If I go with the fawn color I'll try to find something close to the current color.

I'm with PGSigns, I like the color you have on it too!
