I've sent my worktruck to the body shop for a total repainting, the truck will be
painted single color with no mouldings or stripes. I've got three colors I like
but cant decide which to go with. What do you folks think would look good
on this truck?

A-Bright Silver
B-Platinum
C-Light Blue tinted silver

 

Platinum like this?

I'm leaning towards the silvery platinum.

 

Silver has a history of being the paint with the shortest life.
Hey, passing thought; if you want it to stand out you could always get it painted Barbie pink! There aren't many of those out there!

 

Here is my 93 with PS7 paint code.

 

I like your stock blue color thats perty but i do like the dark grays like Richie 0's truck. Gray is supposedly like one of the most popular colors i heard or maybe that was a couple of years ago...........

 

i like the platinum.

I LOVE THIS TRUCK

 

I like that one too someone wanted a loader bad!!! Looks like some nice fab work though.

 

The company i work for had a hoe-truck, went right into the "trailer hitch" even had a seat for it.

 

Richie O, that is a great album!!! What a bunch of great billy goats! #43, the lifted dually with the stacks is beautiful! I own a 2nd gen, but I love the 1st gens too. Classy looking trucks for sure.
Jim, my 2 cents on the paint would be to go with a nice dark metallic blue. Would look really good on your truck.

 

Dark met blue is what is on the truck now, I'm tired of it, and it is time to bust some rust if I plan on keeping it a long time.
I think i have decided on the silver/platinum metallic.
The truck will be painted in two parts.
The box is at he shop now, they'll get that repaired and painted first.
While the box is at the bodyshop I'll be taking the front clip apart for cleaning and prepping, and I'll tackle some repairs like the KDP and new brake lines front to back while access is easy.
If you folks want me to I'll post pics of my project as it progresses.

 

I agree, I like the dark metallic blue with some chrome accents, they look good. I also like the electric blue, but haven't seen that color on a 1st gen yet.

 

Having done paint and body I am surprised they would do that. With that metallic silver you might have color match issues if not sprayed all at once, I will only spray solid colors in stages, no metallics no pearls. Make sure to bring that up with your painter so if there is a color match problem you have him saying he will fix it.

A little bit of blue pearl in the first clear coat looks real good over silver.
