Wanted: black and silver frame pics - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

68on22s · 03-20-2005, 02:37 PM

I am deciding on what color to do my 68 frame. I am powdercoating it and I was leaning towards a black frame. I was wondering what a black frame with silver a arms and rearend would look like, or the other way around. Any pictures would be appreciated.

i would kinda like to see pics of that to my 72 is going to be done similar but it is going to be a black frame and the suspension is going to be the body color which i have not decided yet.

I would do the frame black and the arms, differential ,center link, tie rods, and swaybar silver. When I did my frame I just thought Black. I wish I would have put a bit more thought into the colour choice. The frame could have looked alot better.

Thanks

I will try and post some pics of my black frame tomorrow night after it is painted, as of right now it is going solid black but I like the way that Mario is thinking about breaking it up.

Hey ChevyDude, is that paint or powdercoat?

SufferInTruth · 03-21-2005, 02:29 AM

I'm pretty sure that's Rustoleum Hammered Silver. We sell the same product at our store (I'm an asst. manager at an ACE Hardware).

That's spraypaint?! It's so smooth and shiny!

Looks like professional paint work to me. Seems like it would be a bad choice to use spraypaint on your frame, though - it would chip like a mofo. Are you sure that's a good idea?

My frame is going to be silver vein, it has silver and black in it looks cool. My front and rear axles are silver and the leaf springs, rotors,calipers and fuel cell are gloss black. The only thing I havent finished is the frame.

My frame is silver with f@rd blue arms and axle.. I started with spray paint but have since gotten some por-15 and may redo it...
