Paint jobs and patterns (was: Stripes, not the movie)

[mark grady]

I'd forgotten about this site. You're right, that stripe style is very nice.
Blends in with the tinted windows but keeps the coach light colored to
reflect heat.

This coach looks more white or pearlescent in color than gold, but I like
it.

Realizing that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, are there any other
ideas on the web that remain as true to the original style?

Also, do I remember that someone has a set of GMC profiles they've done in
Corel Draw? If so, could you send them to me?

I guess that tells you how much champagne I drink... Somebody help us
determine this color, please. If anyone is interested, I called Dick and
asked him how he did that... very low tech approach, but it really looks
nice.

Yes, are their other entrees... some folks may have other other special
colors and patterns that they have tucked away for that repaint day.

I guess that tells you'al how much champagne I drink... Somebody help us
determine this color, please. Maybe a better question is what color
should this be with the blackish stripe to match the tinted windows. If
anyone is interested, I called Dick...didn't ask him the color, but did
asked him how he painted that... very low tech approach, but it really
looks nice. http://www.paterson-gmc.com/~gmc/motorhome.html
