Color Choice for my truck - thoughts?
OK, the previous owner of my truck had painted the truck "fire engine red", but his prep before the paintjob was poor. The body has been all cleaned up and is about ready for re-paint, I plan on shooting it Red again...love red!
The truck in question is a 1967 GMC Longbed Stepside, after painting it I want to get some good ole Cragar SS rims for it. Anybody think a different color would be better? unfortunately all my pics got destroyed (long story) so if you have a pic of a truck the color you are suggesting that would be GREAT. One final note, I don't llike the flat black look so please don't suggest that!  Thanks Chris |

I would say go with the color that you would feel best being seen in. I'm not a big fan of red vehicle's but do love a good Candy Apple Red. JMO
Be sure to post some Pic of the process and finished product.

I think you should go with something unique, maybe ochre with a nice hot pink cab top, and you never see enough plaid....
