[DEMON44]

White Chevy pickup. wow never seen one of those before.......


You can do better than that I'm sure.

 

[yellowK20]

yeah yeah, I'm just on a budget and tired of the truck looking so ghetto its a complete repaint as well, it will be a base clear but no metallic or pearl , so that really limits my choice as well.

I'm not really feeling the white ...... which is why I'm looking for ideas

 

[Chevy305]

Thats a awesome color, just don't think it would jive with blue upholstery

That's why they invented this stuff

 

[-stew-]

Loser blue!!!!!!!!

 

[plyr2k]

Paint it like the blazer. I've never seen a crew can like that.

Look. It's even in the background do you can imagine it. I might come see you this weekend. Just got off the rig.

^^ saw a cc about that color last week...it looked like a 90 or 91, it was purty!


Gotta start carrying a camera...I keep seeing cool vehicles all the time.

 

[yellowK20]

Has anyone ever used that fabric dye???? Its gotta look good , like factory good or I won't even consider it.

Adam the Blazer color scheme is ok maybe flipped though isntead.


Stew, the 1st pic you posted is the same color as the truck was originally.


Here is a couple updated pics

I have. Did the pillar trim and visors, I recovered the headliner too. I can try and get better pictures this weekend. I used the SEM line of paints/dyes. I can get you the color code later.

 

[yellowK20]

I dont have issue doing the trim pieces, I concerned about the seats, as right now they are perfect . same with my door panels and lower door carpet .

 

[yellowK20]

Ugh and the seatbelts, and my subwoofer box there all done in blue , I'd have a **** ton of stuff to do a color change on the inside

 

[-stew-]

you want to re-dye the seats and lower door carpets? From what color to what color? Ritt maybe? I really hate to endorse the most soul crushing, man hating website ever; but maybe have your girlfriend look on pinterest?

Leave the interior blue. I have never seen a dyed interior that looked good.

If you have a full interior then don't dye it. It's not a perminant solution. It works fine felts and vinyl, but not so much for plastic like your door panels as it tends to chip.

 

[79rustyk10]

I like they grey. Thats the color my first 79 was actually.

 

[yellowK20]

i dont want to change interior colors so I need a color that wont clash with a blue interior

 

[82355]

Just go white.

Ended up selling this rig to Dokwatson, I bought a New Cummins and ended up getting my 97 cummins back AND picked up a sweet 78 power wagon

 

[yellowK20]

So I ended up getting this truck back from dokwatson. It's in pretty rough shape he didn't take care of it at all still runs but I'm pretty sure he never changeD the oil in 20,000 miles. The body is pretty rotten now as he lives closer to the ocean then I do. Cab and doors are still good but the bed and front fenders are fragged.



So I've been using it for hauling trash and firewood and some mild wheeling , pulled the 315's off and went to a set of 38x12.50-16 tsl's. Not sure what fate has in store.

 

[Smokinthehippies]

Well that's good but also kind of a boner kill.

 

[yellowK20]

Yeah it is the truck just needed paint and some minor body work , now it needs pretty much a complete body replacement.
