I know this question can have 1000 different possibilities but I'm just tossing ideas around. I'm thinking about painting my Jimmy. It's all RED right now and quite frankly, red ain't my favorite color. Thinking of going with a pearl white or something.

72Freak also lives in the Atlanta area as I do (Roswell), and posted something about a body shop in Austell where he had a 72' Burb repainted at good cost with a really nice two-tone dark green body/white roof.

I haven't called the guy, so I can't attest. I think he said the guy only works on a few vehicles at a time, so they get done and don't sit in the shop forever. Maybe do a thread search on 72freak; you can see the thread and pix of his 'Burb and the paint scheme. Looks like it might be nice-enough work at a reasonable price.
