What color should I do the outside of my 1963 chevy pickup the inside is gloss black looking for some ideas for the outside??

might go to yer local paint supplier and look at their color chip books to find a color that turns yer crank ... you wouldn't like my suggestions, cuz they'd all start with gettin rid of the black interior

Bill what colors would you go with inside an the outside.

Brandon are you trying to keep the truck period correct? or just asking opinions ? personally i think black is a very cool color its my favorite had a blck truck have a black harley why not match the inside black to the outsided? and the n pin strip it say a dark red or maroon? Later Earl

That would work earl I was thinking about a real drak purple on the outside if that would look good.

My truck is currently black inside, and I hate it. It shows every finger print, spider web, and dust speck imaginable. Paint it something that hides dirt and it won't distract you. Its going back to original spec.

Personally in my opinion I like the blues and teals and in darker colors with a straw yellow or orange ( double 1/8") stripe. I also like the black interior. Both of these colors go well with a saddle brown interior instead of the usual gray or silver so often seen. Just my opinion on being different here guy's don't be offended. The dash and interior metal parts can match the outside color or you could use a shade lighter or darker or you could do them to match the interior. Either way any color would look good as long as it is what you like. Check out some of the trucks here or doing a google search and hit images, you may find something appealing. Let us know what you decide and post some pix please.
