Now that I'm finally doing the body work, what colour should I paint this truck.

Black or Copper

...ps The link doesn't work, long story involving hackers...
Basically it's a plain '86 LWB, regular cab currently light blue and rust

Howdy again, I'm sure we met, but I haven't been around in a while

Well, The body "should" be perfect when it's done. I'm currently spending my evenings grinding out rust where I don't need ot piece in new metal. And as soon as I can find the panel cutter I'll be cutting out the spots where I need to weld.

Hello,about your question to paint it black or copper. Have you considered both? I think that going from the body line up black and from the bodyline down in copper would look really good. Black is ALOT of work to make it look nice and keep looking nice. It looks great but is alot of work,if you two tone it you still get black but without alot of the maintenence.

...Black and copper? Anyone want to photochop that? I'm not sure how that'd look...

dubie · 07-16-2003, 03:05 PM

It would look AWESOME!!! almost any color when applied with black in that configuration, looks great.

Gibble · 07-16-2003, 03:10 PM

Someone here had a pic of a blue and silver one too. Can't find it right now though....

I would vote on something like pewter, or a type of silver. Look at the new cars and trucks (not just CHevrolet). There are some great colors out there.

Gibble · 07-16-2003, 03:27 PM

Black on top of Copper though? Anyone care to photoshop that in?

I can't photoshop worth a damn

My First Mustang was a Charcoal colour, I want something I haven't had, that's why I'm thinking of Copper (Like the one on the Dodge Dakotas)

You could go with black over copper. With the copper on the lower part, below the body molding. Put a little flake in the balck to match the copper better?

Gibble · 07-16-2003, 04:25 PM

No molding on my truck...anymore

Take 3 parts copper and 1 part black, mix and spray. Post pic when done.
