72 blazer paint??????

Hello Gentlemen, the time has come. I need to paint my 72 Blazer. Does anyone have any ideas for what color to use? Original colors are great, but I don’t mind going off the beaten path and have a color that most others will not have. Or if you have seen a Blazer or a 69-72 body style that had a eye catching color!

Some might say eye catching ...This is a custom mix I did with TCP global urethane metallic base and lime candy in the clear.

Notsolo. What did you use under the cowl vent. Thats a good idea to keep leafs and junk out.

The vent screen is from a dinosaur dish, cut 2 strips, painted to match and glued to the bottom side with polyurethane calk..(Sika 1A ) sometimes found at Home Depot about $7
