Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
i like it. but i think all two tone needs a pin stripe to soften the transition on color.

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
Are you talking about the two-tone break, or the colors? I think the break is too high. It should come down low enough to encompass the bed rails.
Like menace121978 mentions, a bed cover would give some depth to the top color. As far as the color combo, I like the tangelo but don't care for it with black.

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
Break the colors even with the body line.... and I also don't think the black looks very good with the orange.

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
Like the colors together, like menace121978's idea of a black bed cover. I say go for it!

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
Yeah I dig the black and orange together. I think it would look good where you have it splitting at, and I think it would look good down to the body line too. Personally though I would do the black on bottom, and orange on top. I like the colors together, but would want the black to be the more prominent color.

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
Looks too HD to me, hasn't that been done enough elsewhere?

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
I was going to two tone my Blazer somethng similar. I was going to paint the whole hood the upper color, and come around the edge of the fenders to about 1" from the top. That way it will cover the top of the bed rails too. also, for the orange, look at the Lamborghini oranges. There is a nice 3 stage orange with a lot of pearl in it that looks a little better with the black. Put a bright color stripe betewwn them (I like the 94 GMC radar blue- it looks purple) and you will be good to go.

Re: what do you guys think of this paint scheme?
I would come down the front of the hood, and follow the curve of the fenders that far, too. That would tie everything in a bit more, at least to me.
