Paint it how you want it, but the 80's theme would be my last choice. It's too new to be considered cool or retro, it just looks old.

If it were me, I would go with a solid color, or a nice two tone that ties in with your interior.

i want it a 80s theme, my trucks a custom truck thats from the 80s and my idea for the truck is a tribute to one of the greates conversion company at the time.

im not sure that i understand that? my truck is an 84

i think one color is kinda boring to look at but thats me
a two tone is ok like red main and a center stripe in white.

these are choo choo trucks too something like this im thinking

although it makes me think of a ford dually

and Jitteryguy's is very nice, I just don't like the broad vertical stripes....
they don't flow very well with the body

you did ask for opinions, it's not like we came in here just forcing our opinion on you ;)

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

i didint know ideas was the same as opinions, learn something new everyday

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

consider yourself schooled :D
peoples ideas are generally what they like, which is also their opinions of what they think looks good.....

I really like this one. I also like the 80's theme. Afterall, they are 80's trucks! :chevy:

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

I think that one looks nice!

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

actually this one looks pretty good. i dont mean to offend your ideas, that is just my opinion. But i realized that your going for a restoration, so you wanting the 80's "theme" is understandable.

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

i like your first one

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
 

Didn't mean to offend you, just stating my thoughts becuase I that you were looking for ideas or opinions.

Anyway, if thats what you want as I mentioned go for it. Of those that you posted, the one below has the best over all symmetryhttp://i271.photobucket.com/albums/j...gmt/1043_3.jpg.

i like the last design you made on paint or whatever it is. but move the gray up to where the body starts its curve is. know what i mean? and make it a straight line not broken up. i think that would look awesome. and i would also put a black thin strip around the gray to break it up from the maroon a little bit. not to thick of a line but enough to stand out.
