Blazer off to paint, but what color? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

cochino12 · 07-05-2007, 10:51 PM

I dropped the blazer off to paint yesterday but I still havent picked a color. I'm thinking one of these colors, but I really like the infrared on the cadillac. All of the trim, badges, and door handles are going to be shaved also. Maybe someone can do some photoshop of me? opinions? Pictures arent the best but gets the idea across

Edit: I forgot to add silver to the poll.

I gotta say the white out of those 3
Edit: or you can do like me and just get it prepped and leave a base coat on in for a month or 2 until you have your mind made up.

cochino -
Geez, you're moving right along with the Blazer.

I was gonna say why limit yourself to one color. If you weren't gonna shave the trim, then I'd say stay with a two-tone with the same scheme or with just the middle a different color, like Infrared as the main color with silver (or white) in the middle.

Just send the trim this way and I'll hold on to them if you decide otherwise.

no reason you can't do a two tone with no trim

i'd say red and white, but if not two toned, then white

I voted silver. There is a great silver on the new Cadillac Devilles that flops to gold, and looks pretty tough. That gets my vote.

If you are wanting to do a three stage white, look at the Lexus color. It isn't near as muddy as the Cadillac one.

I just drove by a lexus with a really cool looking silver but it was pretty dark, I'm trying to stay away from too dark of a color.

I dont think I've seen the lexus color maybe I'll make a trip to the dealerhip and find it. thanks

Lexus pearl white is one of the nicest I have seen. It doesn't have the yellow cast to it like most pearls, and as Jon said it doesnt look muddy, or milky.

Volvo has a killer silver if your going that way...

I'm thinking that might be a good idea but I cant find a lot of trucks that have been two toned without the stock trim
