well next spring-summer is going to be the time for me to start in on the body work and floorboards on my truck so i figured i better start thinking about colors for it. well i messed around in photoshop and tried basically every color in the rainbow and heres what i think im going to go with. im thinking two tone white and charcoal. what do you guys think? remember this is just a rough photoshop pic so i could get some ideas on how it would look.

you can mix the rock guard in colors right? so i could have same idea but with charcoal rock guard? or dont they make a clear rock guard? i was thinking bout just using those clear plastic stick on rock guards when go rough at it? ive had it just plain white for last 5 years so kinda wanted at least a little different.

Rock guard comes clear or can be painted. Its not really noticed down low like it is. And it does work!

Spray the bottom w/ bedliner material. you can do it in any color... at least you can with mine , I have an Armorthane dealership here in Kansas and I spray alot of em that way... no more worries about rock chips and scratches

The two-tone white has promise, especially with the shown decal strip to hide the juncture of the two colors. It's distinctive, yet subtle. Subtle almost always works on a 4x4 pickup. Distinctive can be risky.

Let's look what we have:
pinstripe
deluxe markers
small round mirrors

2 tone white over charcoal

Looks good to me.

What do you plan on for bumpers as the charcoal will run into those as well? chrome, painted, custom?

Looks good!Think about doing the charcoal in bed-liner material.Built custom steel bumpers and spray charcoal bed-liner on then.How cool is that?
