Hi Folks,

Things are looking up. Last week we had the paint mixed for the truck "GM Canyon Blue and Olympic White". (These are factory colors from 1960). I asked the painted to shoot a bit so I could compare the shades and see what she'd look like. I think it looks awesome.

Believe it or not I've been on the fence on the blue color for about 3 years I
was trying to decide between Varsity Blue (dark) and Canyon Blue (in pics), I think I picked right. My daughter in law and the kids liked the power blue
(yuck, no way mot manly enough!) So the Canyon fit right in the middle and really shows off the white.

I have a bunch of ads and stuff but I've only seen one other truck paint this
two-tone pattern.

Let me know what cha think.

Not gonna lie that blue is going to look gorgeous. I think i'm gonna rethink my color choices for my 62 GMC. Haha

62' GMC SWB Fleetside

Why can't we just go back to the designs from when cars were unique and didn't all look the same?
