1/2 ton status
i have an 80 k5 i'm about to build, and i decided to paint it b4 its a ''hulk''
its pre-81 body style, i have a few spots in the front floorboard(where weatherstip slides on)to patch,then paint, the truck has all the trim and complete front grill is chrome, its white w/red inside of the trim.
it will be flatblack w/realtree hardwoods hd vinyl inside of the trim, which leads me to my question, i like the idea of my trim dividing the ''2 tone'', but w/flat black and camo as my 2 colors, i'd like to do something w/ shiny trim, grille, &mirrors.i'm thinking possibly od green, but don't think i'd like it, proll like next combo more...
i thought maybe go od green/camo and flat black the trim and other chrome, but i really want the flat black/camo....the shiny trim, grill, & silverado mirrors,...i'd like to make look like black anodized or smoked chrome,..any coatings anyone knows of that will do this.
i know at paint stores they can mix diff translucensey, would a 25-40% tranlucencent black give this effect...or any ideas..other than sittin out there w/a zippo smoking it up wipe off until desired smoke effect is present, altho i would do it if no other way,..i want smoked chrome/black anodized, whats the best route...i know we have some bodymen who know how to smoke up the brite stuff...please any advise other than picking an above scheme
edit: inside will be rhino/herc lined w/ realtree seat covers and black dash and door panels...all the rest of inside will stay white ...it has all the inside trim in white and i'm leaving it for now! may swap out parts as i find them, but i want to keep all inside white trim,...may go back white ,i like white, after 4 yrs and vinyl is peeling? but right now i just want to look big&menicing
