What color blue?
Getting ready for paint in a couple months, decided on a medium blue but need some visuals. What do you have in a blue?

Re: What color blue?

Re: What color blue?
hey mixermike....
that is a similar shade to the stock hawaiian blue on my 72 burb but it has that show pop. that's a very clean looking street truck with minimal body "desicrations" and a sport drop instead of a lets make it look like the suspension is rusted away ride height. good to see people building street trucks again.....also that cowl hood looks killer with the slant nose! |

Re: What color blue?
I'm going with Rack Mans choice for my 68 SWB "1968 Lemans"
The tailgate with white letters answered my question.

Re: What color blue?
I'm leaning toward something like Mixermikes, I'm going to put just bottom trim on when done. I do like those white tops too though. My Dad had A 72 he bought brand new that was blue with white top and bottom trim. All of them are great looking trucks, Thanks

Re: What color blue?
There are so many shades of blue,but only one color.
 Mixermike`s looks electric.I wouldn`t want mouldings or 2-tone with that shade,though.It`s too modern.

Re: What color blue?
This is a beautiful shade of blue IMHO....

Re: What color blue?
It would be difficult to select just one shade of blue...all those trucks look very nice.
