Paint color idea

Ok i want opinions here, I am trying to see what other people think of the idea i have in mind here. I ran across a pic of a truck that belongs to Ol skool chevy and just absolutly fell in love with the shade of orange he had so I am going to steal the color bwahahaha. Well anyway my plans are to lower my truck 3" all around with drop springs then paint it orange and put steel wheels all around it but on the back i want to put deep dish wheels all painted the body color and put some little baby moon hubcaps on them not sure if i want to do a trim ring or not yet. then instead of having silver grill and bumpers like his i want to do mine in white, Im still undecided on a white cab top yet but then have the truck pinstriped on the hood, around the back window and on the tailgate. So what do you guys think. Oh and here is a pic of his truck.

Re: Paint color idea

I think the two tones look real sharp, but so do the solid colors...so many choices to choose from.
