Default new paint job.

I'm think about either painting the bottom of the car where its silver now black, so it'll be red and black, or I was thinking about just touching up the all the paint, or painting the whole car either charcoal gray or gun metal gray and maybe the bottom like jet black. What do you guys think of that? Have you ever see charcoal or gunmetal gray blazers? Any other recomendations on what might also look good? Here is a picture of the blazer now

A lot of guys on here have left the stock color and just painted the two-tone part below the stock color. The popular color that lower part has been bedlinered black. It seems to hold up really well. Just my .02.

yeah id go with the bedliner. it helps prevent the rust for a while. there are a lot of people i know that will also rhino line the under carriage as well to help keep the frame and everything rust free and in tact. i know i shoulda done it to my blazer but as a result of not... my rocker is gone... lol hope this has helped a little bit

charcoal grey is a decent lookin color for it but i personally prefer the black. just always have. but thats my opinion. what you could do is get sample colors and put em up to the truck nd see which you like best. other wise you dont know exactly how its going to look.
