Planning my paint
Sitting here with my little girl watching cartoons and planning the color for my truck. Current color is rustoleum indigo with drips. Need to go outside (where it is a little cold) to find the original color. I've always been fond of 'indian turquoise'.
Anybody know a site where I can show her some of the original color schemes? Maybe a sales flyer?
Here is a twilight zone moment. I'm overheard explaining to my child why I can't get oem wheel caps (mega expensive) and am browsing ebay for some late model plastic ones (I think that the 2000 8 lug will fit) when the wife pipes in. "That will look lame... don't be such a cheapskate... I want you to get the originals... Just keep looking... we can afford it..."
Has there been some unusual sunspot activity?

There may be some gaps in the lines of my line drawings that will have to be joined if you are using the "Magic Wand" on a paint program.
