WHICH TRUCK??? SPILL THE BEANS!
:devil:

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

i was looking at the magazine articles on the wall, and the green and white truck, and the red/white one have similar paint jobs, so i will seperate it the same way, electric blue on top, still undecided on white/silver/or charcoal on bottom, and right at the back under the drop do a simple tribal flame coming off the two tone, drawing is almost done, have it for you guys tonight ;)

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

ahhahaha, i hate that last truck, :lol:

and yes, its going to look SICK! i hope...lol

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

the last one kinda looks like your drawing???? hahaa

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

would use the colours of the bottom truck and the paintsceme of the orange one at the top , the swooping lines look better to me then the sharpish lines of the middle one
the only thing i dont like at the top one is the upsweep line between the orange and the white near the grille , if it was me i would sweep down from the upper corner of the grille and getting the sweep about mirror the curve of the bonnet to about the center of the front wheel

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

@eric:bahahaha! funny guy!
Whatyaknow, i got a better thing in mind ;) :lol: i got calle dinto work, so i didnt finish a drawing, but i figured to keep you guys at bay, i threw this up on paint right quick, basically what im going for, im leaning towards the charcoal more...

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Yes sir! :metal: I think I like that alot. GM put a nice Gray on the 2010 Sierra 1500 called Storm Gray. (Might be the same as the Cyber Gray on the Vette, but not sure.) It is a nice rich gray with some blues in it. Would compliment the bright blue real well. I can get you a code at work tomorrow if you are interested.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

yes sir! its just what i wanted! something simple, yet a little on the flashy side! and yes! id love to have the code! i have no idea what grey to use on this, as i never was really into the color and never looked at them in the books, i saw a gmc today though that color and it is amazing!

PM sent.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Yeah I with you Funk. I like the gray lower part as well.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

I like the new look a ton better!! Imo, the new split of the two colors fits well! The new black of the dodge chargers would look sik! It has tons of metal flop in it and would bring out the green and compliment the blue! It was the color used on the bottom section of colby elliots red & black c-10! The mopar paint code is pxr and it is called brilliant black crystal! Check into this color!!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

thanks john! and cheese! i have seen this color! its actually the color i put on the top of my practice fender for my original scheme! and it is a great color! i love the metallics in it!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

i WANT THAT PULLEY SYSTEM! lol i hav an 88 chevy k1500 an took off everything on the front of the motor an need the serpentine system with no ac an no emissions or i mite go with the old vbelt sytem to eliminate it

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Funk, what is goin on? Have you got your drawing together? Did you get a chance to look at the 707S? Just checking in on you. ;)

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

:lol: if you were closer id let you have it, it is still sitting in my garage..
id have to give a no, and a yes, :lol: been super bust with school 8-3 and work 4-11 that i havent had time to do much else besides work on the truck (which is a good thing) and my el camino is ready to spray so i have been busting a** on the truck to get as much done because spraying the elcamino will pull me off a couple days, blocking the truck the first time i found TONS of small things we missed, which is commn when you start off with what i did, but its alot straighter now, and has been blocked and primed again! i did look at the color and i love it! im either using it or a HOK orion silver on bottom, but we'll see, got a few pics for yal as well.. :)

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

Lookin smooth!!

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

As Borat would have said about your progress..."vedy nice!" As far as gray vs Orion Silver, I think the Gray fits better. The Orion Silver is just too light. I think it is going the "other way" from what you started with.

Re: 1987 Chevy Silverado project
 

:lol:

Looking good Funk! Keep it going, and get us some shots of the El Camino too.
