LOL...I WISH I coud give Carter a run for his money- but if I could I'd never leave the house dreaming stuff up

jb4short · 05-16-2007, 03:39 PM

OK...HUGE thanks to Carter and to everyone for their feedback. After considering the "Aging" factor of trendy schemes and everthing else this is what we've come up with.

Special thanks to Josh K

Hopefully we don't prove our incompetance while following this build on here

jc · 05-09-2007, 10:12 PM

#1 jumed right out at me!!!

st1x10 · 05-09-2007, 10:15 PM

I love the green over white two tone. It is SWEET. Sorry I don't like flames.

fatboys69 · 05-09-2007, 10:22 PM

It is great to have quality vendors and great people in our hobby, i know he is looking forward to working with you on this project.

Blaz-air · 05-10-2007, 12:11 AM

I voted!!!!! but I think I might be biased. This is such a fun project and Jon has been a great guy to work with. Jon, I will have more for you soon!

I see you artfully dodged being specific about which one you voted for

dan42 · 05-10-2007, 12:15 AM

My vote is for the first one.

GREASEMONKEY72 · 05-10-2007, 03:46 AM

they all look like show winners to me but i voted for the cream over black

jb4short · 05-10-2007, 07:50 AM

I see the cream/black catching up....someone's stuffing the ballot box

Orange · 05-10-2007, 08:10 AM

I voted for #1 and #6.
Not that you don't have a hard enough decision already, but I think if you swapped the dark green on #1 with the cream, and then did the pale yellow outline of the flames like 6, you'd have a winner.

Just an opinion.
I honestly do like both of them alone.

Blaz-air · 05-10-2007, 08:52 AM

Yeah, I've gotten good at that.........

**N2TRUX** · 05-10-2007, 08:57 AM

You have to make a decision on what you want. Do you want a paint job that will look hot for a season, or a few years. The first one is totally hot, but the tribal flames will be dated in a short period.

I voted for #6 because it's a design that will look good 10 years from now...

Here's a good example of what I mean. This is a similiar styled paint job. Carters version is much more refined but you can see my point.

Oh, yeah, the pic is almost 10 years old....

you're right....classics remain classic

OLDIRON69 · 05-10-2007, 02:00 PM

#2 for me, I love silver with any combo....

rambler · 05-10-2007, 02:25 PM

they all look great, and what a great tool to use to try different styles, I liked the creme/black the best, but also liked the creme green.

glock35ipsc · 05-10-2007, 03:14 PM

I too like the cream over black, but I'm not sure how I feel about the orange stripe. I think if it wasn't on the top edge of the bed (makes it look thicker than it looks on the cab/fenders), and layed out on the bedside itself, I think it would appeal to me more.

That being said, I like the colors of #1, but would like to see it with the flames just like #6.

Jon, it was good talking to you the other day! I do have a new tailgate coming too that was closer to me. Thanks for your time!

** Oh, and I voted for #1. I prefer darker colors.

Glad you were able to get one. As you can see in other posts; if bigger items aren't going truck freight it's just inviting damage

jb4short · 05-11-2007, 07:33 AM

First; thank for all the feedback. A lot of it is great food for thought and I genuinely appreciate the help.

As if this weren't already hard enough Carter has gone and added to it:

chevybill · 05-10-2007, 03:33 PM

I picked number 5. I think tribal flames are much too trendy for a classic truck, IMO.
The regular 2 tone paint jobs will not look so dated in 5 or 10 years.

glock35ipsc · 05-11-2007, 09:09 AM

Geez, now you go and make it harder to decide!!! As for the first five, I like the way #3 looks regarding the different wheels. The black over cream I like much better with the placement of the dividing stripe.

jc · 05-11-2007, 09:09 AM

jon i like the paint scheme in the first pic of the differant rim pictures

hgs_notes · 05-11-2007, 10:21 AM

You can NOT use the cream/black combos. As much as I like them and others, it's just too close to the Harley truck styles, especially with the orange stripe. It has to be your company colors dominating. I liked the first one, but like has been noted earlier, it will be dated sooner. I voted for the green on top of white(cream) one because it's more classic. Has kind of an elegant feel to it.

I also like the black on top of green in the latest posting. My new favorite. How about some door signage? It might look a little cheesy, but I'd like to see it.
