Re: Paint Ideas!

I love orange, it's my favorite color. I've always loved hugger orange, a 69 Camaro with white stripes is my dream car. The new Camaros have a really ugly orange though, called inferno, and it always seems to come with black stripes. Anyway, where was I? Oh yeah, orange. I am currently painting my crewcab black. I would love to have painted it orange BUT, in NH the DOT has orange pickups and they used to have crewcabs, so I was afraid my truck would look like an old state truck that came from an auction, instead of a custom pickup. Not sure why that would be such a bad thing, but I just didn't want it to look like an old, worn out work truck.

I also considered painting it safety yellow with a white side stripe and roof, but my wife convinced me it would look too garish. I even painted up an old door yellow and white, I thought it looked good but she didn't. Not sure when exactly I started listening to my wife, but whatever.
