What color should I paint it?
Truck is at the body shop and is time to make a decision. Would you leave it the same color scheme which is (Red & Black) or just paint it all (Red).

Re: What color should I paint it?
The red and black sure looks nice and different, but then the red looks good too. If it was me I would do the red and black

Re: What color should I paint it?
I wouldn't be mad at you either way..... it is a tough choice.... but I've always been a fan of these trucks in two tone.

Re: What color should I paint it?
red and black... but I'd separate the colors at the lower trim lines, depending on year of the truck, a 67-68 would look odd with a black grille divider and red hood right above it... hmmm...

Re: What color should I paint it?
i love these trucks in two tone and in red but i may lean toward the two tone depending on how you are going to have it done such as red cap black then red middle the black bottom or vice versa

Re: What color should I paint it?
my opinion is if everything else is numbers matching id leave it the same color.. in my opinion they are worth more if everything else is numbers matching with same matching paint.. thats what kept me from going from my original green and white to yellow and white

Re: What color should I paint it?
Instead of black, what about a really dark black cherry or a black pearl.It will be something different from any other truck out there.

Re: What color should I paint it?
Thanks to all who voted as this was a difficult choice for me. I'm glad we have this Forum to help each others out specially on situations like these which who better to assist than all you Chevy C10 "Gurus". I'll post pictures soon. FYI, Red&Black (two tone) won 14 votes VS 7 for Red. So, I decided to leave it Two Tone.

Re: What color should I paint it?
red and black looks awessome.. if the 2 tone is done right imo it looks way better then solid. here are 2 two tone rigs i like the colours on. if it wasent for the choice of colour and 2 toned i wouldnt like the car/truck at all.
