Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
Not looking for bashing, if you don't like, that's cool.
Instead of just saying it looks like crap, offer up some form of a constructive solution. The wheels are mine. Mine is actually a 72 so not the same grill, but it was the easiest picture to photochop ![]() And yes i took the marker light out of the grill and put them into the bumper ![]() Thanks guys for the input.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
I like where you're going with it... any thoughts on trying to carry the orange down the bedsides at all? The fact that it stopped abruptly stood out to me...
Google pic, opposite colors though:

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
Agreed...more orange, bring it down the sides some. And possibly go gloss on the black.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
I think it works. Bringing the orange down the bed might make it look even longer than it is.
The hood looks awesome.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
Agreed on bringing it down the bed rail. Also, inverting the colors maybe. I think it looks better with dark color on top, light color on botom

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
Do a search on apint and learn about the pitfalls.Then write a contract with your painter to make sure the truck doesn't spend the next 10 years in paint jail.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
I like that! Makes the truck look longer and faster. That angled tic in the bed orange is genius.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
I like "your" idea, everybody goes down the side. Not sure about the flat.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
That is exactly what I thought when I first saw it. It does work. I think you have the lines in the right place and it works without the bed included. my 2cents

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
I like the color combo on the one sterk44 posted.
Curious, have you tried doing a photoshop rendition of the traditional two tone on our trucks, but with black/orange? I can't recall seeing black/orange in the traditional two-tone paint scheme.

Re: Time For Paint... Solutions Welcome!
