I had a 92 ranger I painted a 77 Cad blue. It is a pale metallic blue and I just loved it and it wasn't a common color. I don't remember the name tho, but it sure was pretty. I like blue anyway but don't care for dark blue. When i paint my 79 this summer that is what i am going to use.
suggestion, go to a paint store and look at their color charts or they can match any color on any car you like. Have fun dreaming

Well, to get some good suggestions ~ then you should really state what kind of budget you have for the paint process.

If you have a well funded budget for paint, then I will suggest HOK KAMELEON™ KOLORS! This paint looks a different color at different views of the truck. It can be rather spendy though.

What color is your interior?
