Custom Paint Ideas for a Chevy Suburban

A customized vehicle shows your personality, draws attention and adds value to your ride. Options abound when it comes to custom paint, ranging from classy and conservative to wild and exciting. The Chevrolet Suburban is a favorite vehicle for customization because of its comfort, size and solid looks.

One Color

  • Many custom paints can make your Suburban look great without much effort. Any bold or unusual color in a glossy finish will make your Suburban stick out in the crowd. Bright greens, oranges and yellows are good choices for colors that draw attention to your custom Sub. Darker colors, such as maroons, purples and browns, look smooth and classy. Cream and gold create an upscale look, and light blues and sea greens give your car California surfer style. Metallic paints will make your Suburban glitter slightly. Iridescent paint, which changes colors in different angles of light, is a common choice for custom SUV paint.

Multicolor

  • With several colors, the range of options increases. A simple two-tone style, with trim and accents of one color and the body of another color, looks sophisticated. You could make the lower half of the vehicle and the upper half different colors, or separate the colors with a diagonal line across the tall side of the Suburban so the back and the front are different colors. With the lower body color fading into an upper body color with a smooth gradient, a Suburban looks polished and customized. Hood stripes and side stripes give your Suburban a racing look while small accents, such as pinstriping, make it look elegant.

Airbrushing

  • With an airbrush, many fun effects are possible. Flames are always popular and enhance the Suburban's aggressive quality. Many other effects, such as murals and patterns, are more unusual. Animal skin patterns, such as tiger stripes or leopard spots, draw attention and work well on the large body of a Suburban. Water, wood and concrete provide more patterns that can be painted on a vehicle. The Suburban's huge body area also makes murals possible. An expert airbrush artist can paint scenes, artwork or graffiti on a car, creating endless possibilities for your custom Suburban.
