Paint Ideas for '83 K10?

[Onebad1983]

So eventually I'm gonna have to get the old girl painted. Any recommendations on paint schemes for her? I really like a deep, kinda dark red and a gunmetal two-tone kinda like the ones in the pictures below. But, leave your suggestions down below. I'll take any suggestions!

Your pictures didn’t attach. Here are some factory paint codes that describe what you’re looking for. What you’re looking for appears to be a Chevy Astro thing, but if you want a factory look, they did the bright red and regular grey combo.

repaint. factory gray color with metallic added
red is a deep red, its actually paint code from a 2008 mustang with metallic added.
not sure if that's what youre looking for but this picture shows the difference in red from my c10 to the k5.

to be honest im not sure. I didn't drive it to work today so will have to give you an answer later tonight when I get home and can look at it. I want to say its the bright red, WA7475 code 72 but not 100% sure.

@R10C10 i appreciate the quick response! Yeah I'd certainly appreciate it if you take a look and let me know. I'm having a hard time finding pictures of trucks with those specific colors. Pretty sure I want to go the WA7475 route but just doing my due dilligence - paint jobs are not cheap mind if I ask what red is on your C10 as well? Thanks again!
