Pics requested of 2 certain colors
My wife FINALLY showed a little glimmer of interest in my truck the other day! We were sitting in the living room and I asked her what color she would like to see on it. She looked around and focused on her DVD sets of the "Friends" TV show. She said either season 6 or season 10. Basically season 6 is a dark teal or blue-green color (more green). Season 10 is a medium maroon color, not too dark, not too light. I'm leaning towards the maroon color. Could anyone with colors close to what I'm describing please post pics so she can help me decide?

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
I like that green but the wife says no. I'm trying to include her in this thing cause she says she'll never drive it...I'm trying to get her to want to!

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
My wife does not like my truck & therefore has no desire to drive it......and that suits me just fine.

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
My wife just rode in my '67 for the first time in 2 years - I was a little suprised, but I have recently re-done the interior, and there aren't any squeaks or rattles any more. The bottom line is, paint it the color you want it, it's your truck. You'll be bummed if you don't.

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
Dan, I appreciate your opinion but that is not my point. I WANT her to be involved and like the truck. As stated in my first post, I prefer the maroon color and was thinking of it to begin with.

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
Don't try to include her in the color selection. If she doesn't want to ride in it then so be it. My wife is the same way. She hates the fact that I spend so much time in the garage working on the truck, it's like another woman to her. If you paint it her color that means that she has at least an ounce of control and you'll be selling the truck before you know it. MAN UP!

Re: Pics requested of 2 certain colors
Take her out to the new car lots and have her look at the color of the vehicles there. After finding the winning color, simply right down the vehicle info and color from the msrp sticker, done, any paint store can get you paint ot match your choice. I took mine out and I think we decided on 2010 Dodge truck inferno red (very nice metallic maroon red color).
