Re: paint scheme
I think that paint scheme looks really bad. I can't imagine purple and white looking much better. To each his own though...do you have any pics of trucks that have something similar to what you are going for?

Re: paint scheme
I think solid dark metallic purple, or purple metallis with a 6" black bottom trim plus some chrome trim in the right places would look best. Didn't Plymouth havs some early Challengers or Hemis painted like that? Purple with some white or black SS stripes up the hood might look okay too.
I get a lot of good ideas cruising street rod and show truck websites. If you don't find what you need here/need a few URLs to get you started cruising for the perfect theme, let me know.

Re: paint scheme

Re: paint scheme
personaly, i dont like 2 tones of anything, and i hate purple, so... i think id go with a solid color anyway, if you're just stuck on the purple, id go with a solid deep metalic purple color. with some chrome. that might look ok. hope it helps.

Re: paint scheme
Do a light or medium purple and white in a factory two tone.
