Hey guys,

I'm lookin for some two tone paint job pics... particually two tone between the body lines... kinda like my stepside used to be...

looking for some ideas to set off my blue paint... any ideas? thinkin of two tonin' my truck like it used to be

Army_Dude · 02-27-2006, 11:57 PM

I'm gonna post some pics soon of my truck. It is 2 tone silver and blue (stock) I really like it but am considering going with silver and black. However the silver would look awesome on your stepper, in my opinion

**AspecialZ** · 02-28-2006, 12:19 AM

WHAT!!?? I don't think it can get any better, looks great, but you should come down to my level a few inches..HaHa

Of all of the truck pictures of stepsides that I have, I can't find many 2-tone stepsides, here's the best I could come up with.

bagged74 · 02-28-2006, 12:40 AM

haha... tks man! ah, i just feel that the paint needs a lil something... thought about adding the silver two tone section... if it was a fleetside, i'd put the chrome trim down the sides and call it a day... thought about putting the vinyl factory sport stripes on it like the orange truck above... just searchin for ideas...

cliffsta · 02-28-2006, 01:59 PM

that orange truck is fiiiiine

hotrodhomi · 02-28-2006, 02:41 PM

I like your truck, but if it were mine. I would lose the stacks, visor and drop it to the ground. I would leave the color.

But then it will look like every other customized stepside out there.

Rod, two tone paintjobs on stepsides are rare, mainly because there isn't a real easy way to make it look good. The step bed really throws things off.

How about doing a cab top only color change, and add the below the rear window trim?

86 GMG · 02-28-2006, 04:17 PM

its funny this came up my wife and i have discussed this topic for a few years know my truck regular short box is a light blue and white middle two toned i really like the breaking up of the truck but thought about the silver insted of white for appearance reasons silver while hide a little dust where the white wont but i just cant commit to any color yet i have also thought a blue like yours and then a gun barrel grey center? if al all possible if you where to paint the outline like the orange one on your truck def use a grey or silver instead of white that would look killer on my opinion and maybe a custom ised racing strip of some sort on the hood would help break it up

Chevrolet4x4s · 02-28-2006, 09:56 PM

I like it the way it is possibly add chrome trim to the wheel wells,pin stripes,and definatly add flame throwers

to the stacks

I think silver with a bold orange outline pinstripe would make it pop.

**Palf70Step** · 03-01-2006, 07:34 AM

As far as two-tone, I think your origina, color is one of the nicest I have seen for a stepside. I like it alot. Maybe, just add the silver scheme to your the blue. I think it would look good.

Like Jeff said, your stacks make it unique, plus I like them, so hang onto them.

DITTO! VERY RETRO....

75stepside · 03-01-2006, 05:57 PM

Thanks for the input guys.

here's what i'm trying to avoid with pinstripes:

its basically the only option for striping the body line... i think i may do something along the lines of the factory vinyl... if i do something with paint.

As far as adding the behind the cab trim, what does that require? drilling? adhesive???

**AspecialZ** · 03-01-2006, 10:24 PM

Try this..

powder2 · 03-02-2006, 01:01 AM

I liked that one, until I saw theinterrior. But I definitely think the paint job is nice.

I wonder what that would look like with a red bottom instead of tan?

Prerunner1982 · 04-15-2006, 04:07 PM

i had a step side 4x4 model that i painted the bed white and the fenders black, or you could do it just the opposite... not exactly the typical 2 tone lie fleetsides have, but it set it off well. The pic isnt all that great but you get the idea..
