Color Scheme
Ok everyone. I am trying to think of a paint scheme for my truck. I am pretty sure it was painted code 519 Yellow but the AZ sun has faded everything and chips here and there from moving parts is forcing me to repaint. As well as a different bed. I am going with the same yellow and trying to work some black in there since the interior will have a yellow and black theme. Chrome as well in some places. I would greatly appreciate any ideas yall might have on a scheme or ideas in general on what to do.
Here is a pic of the cab.

Re: Color Scheme
If this were my truck (I wish!) I would shy away from Yellow and Black.....it just screams "Bumblebee"! Instead I would paint the whole thing the yellow you have and do the grille, tailgate letters, interior sheet metal and a thin stripe down the sides (1.5" max) in a medium charcoal grey, with the stripe and letters outlined in bright silver. I would then run 4x4 ralley's with chrome rims, charcoal centers and late-model center caps or slots with polished rims and brushed centers. Chrome bumpers, grill trim, vent windows and 67-68 round mirrors would wrap up the package. The black and yellow interior upholstery would still work just fine- so there would be no need to re-do that part.
Just my $0.02 worth

Re: Color Scheme
Just my opinion, Put the black on the underside. Where nobody will see it. That's the only way I see Yellow and black together on the exterior.
