[FC] Rampside body work and paint

[Tom St.Amand]

Ben,
 
I've been watching my rampy project rust away outside for a year and half and a few weeks ago decided to get rolling also.
I went to my paint store and they recommended Por15's paint striper. I bought a trial quart and compared it with some jell stripers I had around.  There was no comparison, the Por15 worked great. I used about six oz. to strip two coats of paint off the nose of my truck from the door  to nearly the second headlight. It's not as bad as other strippers I've used if you should accidently get some on your skin.
 
I have  a request of my own for members.  I am going with a stock color for the exterior but I don't like the standard gold Chevy used in my rampy so I would appreciate it if you have any interior photos showing different color schemes especially the light blue color my truck is. I've seen Dennis's photos, is that a correct deluxe interior paint scheme?
