Has anyone considered, if not there yet, or have already painted there big bolt a more modern color? I've seen alot of light duty trucks at the truck shows with a copper or bronze color and it looked beautiful! We were thinking about having the truck painted copper. My wife does alot of airbrushing and she suggested airbrushing a copperhead snake skin on the entire dash. That's the route we'll prolly go with. Like I said, just curious if anyone else tried something other then the traditional colors. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Jun 2006 Posts: 5 | Theres quite a few trucks I've seen with the copper like colors you mention. One of the guys on another forum has a 58 GMC with a copper paint job. Another guy there has a 55 Chevy with a candy orange color...I think its looks great but my 59 Apache will be painted turquoise (original color) I guess I'm just old fashioned! | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Coppertone was one of the 11 exterior colors available in 1953. Interior color is another matter (one interior color, depending on the model). | | |
