paint color decision - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Jmac05 · 08-01-2002, 10:42 AM

I am almost 99% sure that I want to paint my truck the
Chevy Indigo Blue Metallic. You can see it at chevy.com. I also am considering red. I like the idea of red a little, but I am thinking the blue is going to be best. I am going to have the interior trim black. Also, should I paint the interior black or leave it blue?

I like the interior color same as exterior with the black accents like dash pad, carpet, etc..

If you are going to go with Blue you have to check out the dark blue that Acura is putting on their cars! It is just cool. It looks like about three shades of blue depending on how the light hits it and all three are incredible.

did someone just refer to acura? i don't know if that should be legal on this board?

***** ***** OH SH*T IT HAPPENED ALREADY... nah just joking. I am partial to that indigo blue since my s10 is that color. I think 70c10 is right about painting the interior blue with the black. I think it would like good.

I admit it was me!!! ACURA, ACURA, ACURA, HONDA, HONDA, HONDA, KAWASAKI, KAWASAKI, KAWASAKI......ohhhhh, sorry I have a rare form of terrets (sp?).

Anyway, if you knew how many guys on here had there Chevy's painted with Ford, Dodge and yest foreign colors you would understand. Check out the color, it is much nicer than the GM Indiglo Blue IMO.

ok as long as u don't hav a foreign car im fine with it, what does imo mean? sucks about the terrets

That Blue is awesome!

I agree with 70C10 on the interior... have the interior color same as exterior with the black accents.

I forgot to mention I am going to replace the dash cluster face, the glovebox door, and the metal inside door panels with "honey oak stained" wood pieces. I am probably going to make a center console, but in/around the stick in floor, instead of inbetween the seat. I have to make something to hook Jr.'s baby seat to, so the 'ol lady can sit in the other seat.
Also, any one know who sells quality Single window kits? I'd like to ditch the whole vent thing. I will post pics of the wood when I'm finished.
