my brother has a 2wd swb he got from my dad who was the second owner, with the same paint scheme, ive only seen a handful in pictures its a very very sharp combo when you see it in person, my brother is starting a restoration on his and using the factory paint scheme less the roof he will keep the roof the same as the top and bottom. but long story longer i 2x this suggestion

Hey that looks just like mine.... besides the primer in the usual places... Ya'know above the fenders Rocker panels. Although im thinking about taking it black and green two tone. And at the same time, Until it gets warm enough its going to be black with gray two toned primer. Something i havent seen yet.

69C-10SWB · 09-28-2009, 01:55 PM

dark blue and gray or silver

Driveway Dreams · 09-28-2009, 02:53 PM

Change it up a little. Do a dark blue like the factory color with a Pearl White. Audi has a great looking pure pearl white, not as yellow as GM White Diamond.

you have a great idea i am doing the exact thing almost, im doing stock light blue poly W/ cadillac pearl white. unless if you want dark blue i really like ford shadow blue met. with gray or white accent. the cool thing about shadow blue met is it comes in different bases so it can be lighter or darker. ive also seen the shadow blue on a chevy with a lighter blue in the middle.

that glacier paints very nice looks dark thoug to be glacier. is it actual glacier paint you had mixed? or did you get it like premixed like tcpglobal cause theres is darker like that but still called glacier

ScottW · 08-13-2011, 02:17 PM

In 1969 the paint code 53 was called glacier blue for camaro, mystic blue for pontiac, other gm brands called 53 different names. The paint is mixed in PPG Global line of paints. I went to several car shows and looked at paint on cars and trucks before deciding on this color. Color charts don't give you as good a sample as the real thing.

true74enduro · 08-09-2011, 04:11 PM
