    Just Sharing Some Of My Thoughts here!
    If and When I Paint My 58 Cameo I was Thinking Of Painting It Corvette Yellow
    With Maybe a Cream Color In The Panel Insert on the Bed between The Stainless Strips Were The Cameo Script Is At and Maybe Cream Color at The Band on The Upper Cab portion,Just Wondering If I Should Paint Cab Roof Cream
    Color Also! Then You Get Into the Area Around OR Behind The Front Grill Too!
    Not Sure Yet But Think With All That Chrome On The Front End It Would Stand Out With The Yellow as The Base Color and Should I Break Up Those Area's With
    The Cream Color Or Just Leave The Whole Thing Corvette Yellow?

    Also Don't SCALP Me, But Was Thinking Of Taking The APACHE Off Of My Front Emblems So It Says Just Chevrolet In The Insert,I Played Around On One Of My
    Really Old Beat Up Emblems and Removed The Apache Off Of It and I Think It
    Looks Kind Of Cool, But The Tail End Looks a Little To Long With Out It and Was
    Thinking Of Shortening It Up and Having it Re-Chromed (For The Record I have Nothing Against The APACHE Indians)Just Thought It Looks a Little Busy
    With Chevrolet,Apache, and Then Cameo On The Bed!
    Any Thoughts Or just a Hair Brained Idea?OR Maybe Just a Brained Idea If The Indians SCALP Me :):eek:

    That color combo works great together. I had a 55 that I painted light yellow and the off white around the side and back windows. The colors I used were 1980 GM light yellow and I used fords wimbledon white. Chris, down the hill from you in Rimrock!
