Paint!
What kind of paint jobs have you guys done to your rigs??? I love my truck but HATE White, especially solid white. I was thinking of custom paint, maybe something mild, maybe something wild. What have you guys done to your 1st gens???

I had mine painted metallic black cherry about a year and a half ago. It's a beautiful colour when it's shined up but it does show the dirt. The paint job itself was done half-asked howver when I have more money set aside I'd possibly like to get it redone by someone else in more detail.

Whats wrong with white I just got done with my 90 put the cab on the frame doors fenders hood , white is a beautiful color hides alot of dust easy to keep clean, besides put a yellow beacon on the roof and you can drive through construction zones ha ha

My truck is being restored and and will be re-painted in solid white, had to get the roof fixed due to rust.
Mine has been de-moulded and de-emblemed, will be using the standard chrome bumpers.

I think there are many choices for paint schemes - which depends on your own style. Like others, I have a white D350 (See gallery). I recently did the paint on it and it came out nice (and I like white). I stuck with white because I have seen many trucks painted another color besides the original - it has always bothered me to see the paint change at the door jamb. But that is a personal opinion...
Wish the best in finding a scheme that fits you! Be sure to post pictures when you do it. I would like to see any before/after.

Nonetheless, I don't think that you offended anybody. I HATE any color that isn't red, black, chrome or any of those awesome shades that AMC's came in.
(Maybe I can get my truck vinyl wrapped in this color. What'd ya'll think about that?)

I think I'm gonna be ill. 
That has gotta be one of the ugliest things AMC ever made. A purple Gremlin with gold stripes? They thought THAT would be the best thing to put in their ad? It's no wonder they went out of business.
