I was wondering how a dark blue and white two tone would look on a 81-87 and a course all the trim will be there maybe like these

I don't recall seeing one in the other two tone scheme.

Have you tried to photoshop it?

Driveway Dreams · 07-16-2009, 04:06 PM

I think it would look great! Use the factory styling and use the colors you want. That's what I want to do on mine.

flamingbig10 · 07-16-2009, 04:20 PM

I thought of it a little more pearl white on top and bottom and blue pearl in the center with ghost flames

Driveway Dreams · 07-16-2009, 04:41 PM

Oh man, I would have a hayday painting that! The wheels in my head are just screaming right now. I think it would be awesome!

you can put a request on the photoshop part of the board and they will make ya one

Albatrossian · 07-16-2009, 07:29 PM

Heres, mine, big. I've since painted the wheel centers the same blue.

That looks pretty good!

jdurant · 07-17-2009, 11:22 AM

Sorry, but you lost me at ghost flames.

Desert1957 · 07-17-2009, 11:37 AM

Like this?

bigbadjohn84 · 07-17-2009, 11:43 AM

nice

D13 · 07-17-2009, 01:40 PM

Mine looks like Desert1957's only the upper is the dark blue, even darker than JohnC's. In fact it is Rustoleum navy Blue and White.

bigbadjohn84 · 07-17-2009, 07:35 PM

GREAT!! LOL good ol rustoleum.. lol I considered doing my ol beater farm 4x4 in that. hows it hold up for you?

flamingbig10 · 07-19-2009, 11:49 PM

I think I will be going with blue on top and bottom with white in middle also some 20" street stars would look good to

**N2TRUX** · 07-20-2009, 12:01 AM

Use Lexus pearl white and that Ice Blue together for a electric combo.

3r!c84 · 07-20-2009, 01:36 AM

why are u painting your truck?
tired of the flames?

JohnC · 07-20-2009, 08:00 AM

That will look good. Most of the blue/white combo's you see like that are the lighter blue.

staggerd86c-10 · 07-20-2009, 09:27 AM

that photoshop looks really like a great idea. i didnt even know they made the street stars that big.

bigbadjohn84 · 07-20-2009, 11:06 AM

that second photo is awesome. I second the pearl white and blue. that would be a knockout finish. I love two tones
