Default Blazer Paint?

I have an '89 K5 Blazer with a paint job I have seen on no other Blazer. It doesn't look like it has been repainted because its dull and when sanded down it is metal. So if anyone has seen a Blazer like mine (Dark green,almost black on bottom, half way up it changes to tan)(pics in my profile for more info) add a pic or tell me what it looked like! Thanks, really curious, gonna repaint in the future was just wondering about this!

That doesn't look like a factory paint job...

Well when I paint it again, I'm not sure if I should leave it or paint it like Swartlkk's. I love that paint style but am deciding if the way I have it now would look better, what do you guys think?

While I really like Swartlkk's truck, I have never been a fan of copying things other guys do. I like the sound of your style too. I think I would stick with it. It's sounds unique.

Yeah, I've always tried to come up with my own idea as much as I can but It's your truck do whatever you want. But, I do think it would look sweet to paint a K5 something like hugger orange with black on top.

That would be pretty sweet, never thought of that, what I think I'm going to do is put black on bottom, and then do blue on top, but I kinda like the sound of hugger orange!

A blue to black fade would look awesome. Hugger orange would too, but it would be difficult to do a fade. As you can tell, I'm really liking the fade idea.
