Okay Lee... these are not my best work but the pics are low quality and that makes a big difference in the final product. As you know... good body work makes for good paint. :D

yes tom, i realize all too well how bodywork makes all the difference, what i was looking for was ideas on what the truck will look like in one shade. and the new "paint" sure does emphasize how much i need to get that new front bumper ordered! new fenders, a grille, a header panel ,and i hope a new hood all await the truck soon.... but thank you, it is much appriciated! i was really looking at the last blue u showed me, but that black does look sharp... im thinkin now.....

why dont you try the dark indigo blue like on the newer s10's or the color mine is...kinda electric blue with blue flake in it...but i dont think my color is stock cuz i know its been repainted and ive never seen another one the same color...similar, but not the same. there is one that body style around here that is about that light blue color that looks good.
Eh... I'm not happy with the work.. but you get the idea. :D
I tried to match the Marina Blue on the 60's Corvette... kinda close. The Electron Blue is tough to copy because it is light reactive, meaning the light changes it's properties.

I like the stance of your truck. With the Irocs it looks mean.
Its a start, and those are just RS wheels. Someone else I know has the same ones on his truck. Now how bout you kiss the earth a little more...that high up oughta have some mud on it

oh tommy, if you only knew....
the belltech spindles and blocks and the zq8 bars are sitting in a stack... waiting....
and since i cant decide on paint, i'm pondering rattle canning it flat black, for now....

Ive heard its a good look. Could someone do a photo shop for him?

now tommy,
i hope you realize it's all good clean fun. i actually love your truck, its what pursuaded me into the wheels in the first place. i hope mine turns out half as nice as yours... that way, it will at least be better than Eric's.
Lee
