Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
Paint it how you want it, but the 80's theme would be my last choice. It's too new to be considered cool or retro, it just looks old.
If it were me, I would go with a solid color, or a nice two tone that ties in with your interior.

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
this one isn't too bad
![]() although it makes me think of a ford dually and Jitteryguy's is very nice, I just don't like the broad vertical stripes.... they don't flow very well with the body you did ask for opinions, it's not like we came in here just forcing our opinion on you ![]()

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job

![]() peoples ideas are generally what they like, which is also their opinions of what they think looks good.....

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
I really like this one. I also like the 80's theme. Afterall, they are 80's trucks!

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
Didn't mean to offend you, just stating my thoughts becuase I that you were looking for ideas or opinions.
Anyway, if thats what you want as I mentioned go for it. Of those that you posted, the one below has the best over all symmetry ![]()

Re: Need Ideas for Paint job
i like the last design you made on paint or whatever it is. but move the gray up to where the body starts its curve is. know what i mean? and make it a straight line not broken up. i think that would look awesome. and i would also put a black thin strip around the gray to break it up from the maroon a little bit. not to thick of a line but enough to stand out.
