im contemplating bringing the lackluster-faded orig.green cruiser back to life with:
#653 Olive Green. Any photoshop pros with mad skills that can post a pic with this color on with matt black powdercoated rims and sliders???

Or if anyone has some other kewl color ideas..... i thought about leaving the green bottom half and doing a cygnus white or colorado beige up top....has anyone done a two-toned 80 yet???

Yeah, I can do it. Give me a clear color pic of a Cruiser and I'll get on it.

 

[Shahram]

Oh, and a sample of the color you want.

 

[Shahram]

Nevermind. I took a pic of my own and filtered the paint to reflect olive drab, or at least it appears to be close according to my monitor. Your color mileage may vary. Let me know what you think.

Look at Degnols 40. I think it is the color you are looking for.

Sorry, u can't do that; its a USArmy truck...

2-Tone

I've thought about doing this. Although I was taking a lazy approach and only painting the top half.

Do a white roof like FJ40LC or FJC.

It would probably look like this, going down the line from the rear hatch to the front tail light along that top crease in the body:

And because grey is neutral, here is the same paint scheme with olive drab:

Damn...I think it looks pretty good from afar. Up close might be a different story.

Compare that with the painted flares look a la 40th Anniversary:

You have some mad PS skills.

Shahram, that first pic is pretty much exactly the line i'm going with with line-x, except in black and except at the front it will cover the entire front fender. But on the doors and the rear, that's exactly the line i will take with the product.
