Re: 2 tone white yes or no. would you

One of the best looking trucks I've seen ever. I wouldn't paint it at all, looks sick all black.

Lightbulb Re: 2 tone white yes or no. would you

Tough decision as I love two tone trucks.

But man your truck is sweet!

I say leave it as is, Or....maybe some simple pin stripping to spruce it up.

Just an idea.

Whipped up a visual aid. It's not a very great picture for modifying, but it helps.

Re: 2 tone white yes or no. would you

here's one that actually has the roof done too... stock color combo...


I would leave it alone personally. The two tone is classy, no doubt, but your truck isn't a classy truck.
It has attitude
It's sleek
It's menacing
it's sinister

Mixing the two wouldn't work as well as what you have now IMO.

Re: 2 tone white yes or no. would you

I think it looks great as is, but I also can understand wanting a change. I think if it was mine I'd either do just the roof or the roof plus the sides like the one Andy posted. Here's one with just the roof done.

Re: 2 tone white yes or no. would you

Hey, why not paint just the doors white, then find some pseudo-law enforcement emblems and a red gumball....

I like the black, too. Seeing these trucks in solid black really hurts. My truck was black when it was new and it will be when it is done.....my luck has not been good lately. Black w/red interior is my plan. Interior stuff is already purchased.

But while I like the trucks that are black on white on black, I vote stay with the black that you have.

That's what I was trying to say earlier... you said it a lot better, but that's what I think too.

x2...if you have to do something, just paint the top white in my opinion. Or just leave it, it's sexy already.
