70 Blazer Olive paint, woodgrain trim & doors - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

super_kev · 02-08-2004, 05:01 PM

Does anyone know where I can get a match to a 1970 CST Blazer med olive paint? I'm restoring one, and would like to paint it the original color. The option code is 4504AA.

Also, where can I get a full set of woodgrain trim? I know LMC has some, but I was wondering if anyone else carried it? Mine is trim is shot, and I also need a new "CHEVROLET" trim panel for the tailgate.

Third question... Where can I find some new door shells? I remember reading a while back (last spring - 2003) that someone was making some door shells specifically for the blazer, and he thought when they were done perfecting them, they would run in the neighborhood of $150/piece or so.

Thanks!

My 71 is that same original paint! It's also under resto and I was going to paint it the factory color too! Let me know how it turns out...post some pic's when your done.
Mine was medium olive green with a white top, CST 4x4 Blazer.

Sweet. I'm rebuilding mine and you'll probably finish before me. I'm hoping to have it painted by June. There's about 3 layers of old paint on it now, plus years ago it slammed into a tree and dented the rear end pretty good, so that's taking some time to straighten out and weld and bondo up. What bugs me is that I can't find any rear quarter panels for that area. But when I get it painted, I'll try to remember and post a new thread with pictures, if you don't beat me to it.

Edit: Actually, looking at your sig, if you just have the frame done, then I'll probably finish before you. Mine's a rolling chassis, and I'm just basically getting rid of the rust, replacing the wiring, repainting it and putting in a new interior. Nothing as complete and time consuming as a frame off, although this has taken me a good year so far, since I can't work on it all the time because of money and other on-going projects.

The frame off is my 2nd one waiting for assembly.
My green one is a AZ truck that only needs rockers and body mounts. Wipe the frame one that one and it still shines

Putting her back to factory...other than motor and lift.
All original...even have a set of factory inner rear trim panels

What I need now it time to finish it.

If you can get a pair of nice Pickup doors they are very easy to cut down to make them Blazer doors.
