Correction I said if you had more than two colors it would look like a clown truck and being that you havent made a decision on the final color theme it isnt a clown truck yet. It was not an attempt to put you down or degrade your truck in any way it was just an oppinion that more than two colors is the wrong way to do it, and you seemed as though you wanted an oppinion so I gave you mine.
