    Painting My Box

    Well I've decided the ugly flat black bedliner on my '87 has got to go. I'm gonna fix all the dents, finish my half-assed vinyl top removal, and make this car look nice- what I should have done to begin with. My question is what color should I go with? I'm really leaning toward either Dark Toredor Red or some kind of a charcoal gray color. Another thought is to do a twotone of these colors, I think it might look pretty good. Another color I'm considering is the dark blue from late 90's Chevy trucks. Any Ideas, comments, or thoughts?

              I'm probably gonna use a stripping wheel attached to a drill, the kind used to remove rust. It seems to be the most effective against this stuff. It's actually not hard at all to remove it. Just time consuming.

                People comment on my car's color all the time, but something deep inside wants very badly to paint her black w/ a red pin stripe. DTX painted in little greek letters on each front door along w/ somehow a little head of Emile Farber for the hood, and a pushbar from Galls.com and you would have the DEATHMOBILE.

                  Alright, it will be two toned, I got the paint code for the DTR, but now I need to find a shade of gray that would look good against it.

                    PPG Black satin with a red anarchy symbol on the doors and roof and police car numbers that say 666 and HELL PD on the trunk with no chrome trim and the headlights blacked out and the taillights smoked out!

                      haha, I think i found my second color- midnight gray, like on the harley f150s. I think the 2 colors will be perfect together.

                          As it sits, it is a plain flat black bedlined 1987. It aint pretty... yet. I'll post some pics sometime. oh yeah, the interior's goin black- except the seats. I got front velour seats from a GM. They're soooo comfortable.

                            How would the color be on the car...? Grey top of red, or red on top of grey? I Love the color scheme btw and might try on mine, as my car is grey already.....

                              It'll be red on the top, well, most of it. The gray will be just at the bottom where the big crease is. I'll completely remove the chrome trim at the bottom.
