opinions on paint!!
i was thinking about my huge variety of paints for this upcoming week when my truck is getting repainted, and i am pretty set on pb5 blue- it is electric blue pearl coat, found on alot of 3 gens. i was gonna do it all one color but the idea of not having 2 tone anymore kinda bugs me. does anyone know where to get factory paint by the gallon besides the stealer-ship?

Word of caution on the pearl coat. With that pearl coat under neath it makes touch up painting very difficult. A scratch on a fender becomes painting the whole side of the truck to get it to blend. However a good 3 stage paint job does look incredible. Your body shop should be able to get factory colors, even if it's a reproduction.

Personally I don't think a silver like the stock silver will do that electric blue justice. The electric blue has a lot of pop, and the right silver will set it off. Here's a pic of my pop's ElCamino. His blue is a little darker, but it seems similar to me. His is a GM color called Marina blue and it's two toned with "pewter". Both are factory GM colors, and I think that darker silver complements a rich blue nicely. I used "Dodge Viper" silver on my Monte Carlo against a medium red. It's a nice bright silver with a little more depth than the stock first gen silver, and I think it would look good with the electric blue as well.
