Danny G Posted December 20, 2019 Author Share Posted December 20, 2019 So you're thinking the Combination Tu-tone? I really like the 86 Dark Shadow Blue Metallic with white. Good looking color. Another example of the color but in the Victorian scheme (have looked at this truck way too much): https://bringatrailer.com/listing/1986-ford-f-250/ You're keeping the tan/black interior, right? Is the 79 a true blue? It kind of reminds me of the Nightmist blue on my 65 Mustang. Can be blue or green depending on the light. Might be worth taking a piece of your tan trim to some truck shows and put it next to a color you like to get a feel for it since sitting in the drivers seat you'll be seeing them next to each other a lot. I took one of my a pillar trims to a lot of dealerships when trying to find my color. need to find me a set of those upper and lower moldings. Been perusing Ebay for a full set. Emailed a junker there. If I can get a full set of lower trim for $350-500 id be happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here's the thread. It morphs, or goes tangential. SOP for Gary, and his forum. 🤣 Perry really stepped up to the plate, trying to help us Bullnose owners.

I took one of my a pillar trims to a lot of dealerships when trying to find my color. You know I really like the tone of that first blue on that 79. It does look alot like it could be Nightmist Blue... its not quite Dk shadow blue and not quite Nightmist. TBH thought Nightmist, Midnight, and Dark Shadow are all just evolutions of each other. If you look at Midnight and Dark Shadow chips they are hard to tell apart. I have found some touch up chips that list the chip as "Dk Shadow Blue Metallic/Midnight Blue Metallic". I know the tan works with the white (currently in the truck) and also works with Dark Shadow blue as that was the Eddie Bauer scheme in 86. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife does custom vinyl. I'm going to have her order some 3m aluminum vinyl and see how it looks, doesn't have very good reviews though. Maybe her supplier has something better.

I thought you were after burl???? Perry's contact info is there. Iirc he was needing a few interior trim pieces to develop the patterns, and offered to do it to them in return for the loan of the bezels etc.. That Lincoln steering wheel looks amazing! (to me) ETA; IDK about your wife, but it seems he already has most of the patterns developed for plotter or laser. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
