Paint scheme
My 63 goes in for paint next week. I've known for about 18 months that I want the body to be blue and the top to be a Silver/nickel/pewter color, ABW anything but white. Everyone does white...
So I've been trying to nail down just what shade of color. I think I'm pretty close. The following pics I found here, they belong to member 72 sub, is the look I'm going for. Though not the exact colors. I want a darker top, more towards pewter and a lighter blue. I'll carry the pewter down the door posts and around the back window. Tailgate and sides will be an electric blue. This is close to my idea. ![]() ![]() ![]() This truck is from the 4x4 trucks gone wild thread, I don't know who the owner is. But this is probably the shade I'm going for. I'd love to own this truck! ![]()

Re: Paint scheme
Went back to Maaco today and showed them the truck above. I asked if they could get close to that and they can. It's a GM cobalt or elec. blue. Picked out a silver/nickel as well.

Re: Paint scheme
I was going to suggest the GM cobalt blue, but you beat me to it. Nice choices on the colors Mike.
