Two tone paint thread
 

I’ve seen several different two tone paint schemes when including pickups. Could we share different ones? My 68 had the roof A and D pillars painted white. I’ve seen some with only the roof white. The pickup in the picture has a different style on the body. How many versions were there?

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Are you talking about factory combinations only?

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Yes factory two tone. Not sure if they did three different roof paint styles. Some have the roof only white, other the roof and A and D pillars and some with the roof and all window pillars.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I think that along with the one you posted with the white pillars these are the other two, but I could be wrong.
Mines is the green one that I added the white front bumper and the pillars are the body color from the factory.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Thanks!

Can't tell from the picture of your green burb but does the white top extend down onto the D pillar?



Paul

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Yes it does.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Is it a different code or is it something for different years when the two-tone paint scheme changes? On my 68 the roof and the A and D pillars are white but on your truck (which looks amazing) only the roof and D pillar fare white.

My '69 wasn't a two tone but I painted it that way anyway.

I really like your Burb, it looks great and nice choice on the white roof.
Btw that flatbed you own is very nice also.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Thanks for the compliment.
I have no idea about the code difference, I always thought that most of the barn door Burbs had the body color on the rear pillars.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Thanks. I sold the Burb a couple of years ago, but I wish I had it back.

White roof, pillars and bottom saddle center

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Here's ours

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Here is our Suburban. 598 White/Med Green/White paint code on the SPID.

White roof that goes down D pillars, green window and door frames, with white lower stripe at the bottom of the body.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Thanks for posting the pic of the rear of the truck. I'm doing barn doors and wondered how it would look if the white extended down the D pillar and across the doors.

Kinda like the look!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I am looking for a company that makes an Upper Side Molding Set for the 70 suburban. I have never seen one with it from the factory and wanted to to reverse the factory two tone white/blue paint scheme. Using the Upper Side Molding Set to separate the color transition. Color would be (from the bottom) blue/white/blue/white roof.

My question is this; Is a 1970 chevy long bed the same length as a chevy suburban? If is then may be able to make the upper side molding work on the burb. Of course some modification would be needed on the passenger side with the two doors...

Anyone know?

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I can't help you directly but you might get some ideas from Robs thread.

Looks cool. That's a very lowered rig!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Any 569 Schemes out there?

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Ttt!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Thanks, this is the one!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

You are welcome. Give me enough tries I can get it right! :lol:

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

After doing a long image search it seems there are a lot of two tone paint combinations.

1. Roof only white
2. Roof and "D" pillar white
3. Roof and lower body line white
4. Roof all pillars white
5. Roof, all pillars and lower body line white
6. Roof, "D" pillar and lower body line white
7. Roof all pillars and between upper and lower body line trim white (not sure if this is factory though)

Pics in the following posts.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

1, 2, 3, 4 and 5

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

6 and 7

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I can't tell the difference between #3 & #6? It could be my computer.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I may have the wrong pic in 6. The difference should be that 6 has the roof and the D pillar white (and the lower body line) while 3 only has the top white along with the lower body line.

I really don’t know which combinations are stock. Seems crazy that there would be so many different options!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I really like what ever that color is on Burb with the as seen on thingy on it.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

That's a cool color combination with the grey and white. I'm planning on doing the medium blue and white in combination "6". Blue base/body/interior with white roof and D pillar and white lower body. My truck will have white bumpers and barn doors. At some point I may put on the lower body moldings. Unfortunately it is still on the rotisserie while fighting with making the body work as perfect as it I can get it. This is what #6 is supposed to look like in my earlier post.

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

And just to make things more confusing here is a 7th two tone variation!

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

I get it now. It was my old eyes and the old computer. Thanks for clarification.
I have always loved the blue and white trucks and K models with painted bumpers are the best! :metal::metal::metal:

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

White / Ochre / White ,guys on the assembly line called it " mustard". Look carefully at the photo you will see the instructions to the paint shop written on the firewall !

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Red/White

Re: Two tone paint thread
 

Bumping this as I'd love to see this 569 combination, which I believe is White / Dark Olive / White. My corresponding SPID says 156910.
