which one do you guys like best

[krazy_texan]

ok so i stole the line drawing from another board member so i could color it to get an idea of what i want my truck to look at. Along with the paint i am going to paint the interior silver and prob put a silver divider line between the orange and white but which on of the these do you guys like better.

[Clyde65]

neither, stock has color on bottom up to just below the windows. or wasnt that a choice?

[krazy_texan]

im not really looking for stock i want a custom paint job i also plan on having some silver and orange pinstripe put on the hood and the back of the cab.

Depending on the color scheme I chose picture 1 if you are going with two totally different colors, say white and orange. If you are going with like say black and dark grey I would say picture 2.

Of the two choices I prefer #1. It just seems to have a lighter touch and I find it more appealing.

I am doing orange and white by the way with orange steel wheels baby moons and wide whites

#1

I think maroon and white would look better, but maybe that's just an Aggie thing...

But, if I had to go orange it would be #2

I say number 2. If you look at the pictures of the two real photos above I think the second flows better by going inline with the bottom edge of the hood. More fluid in my opinion.
Good luck,

I made a mistake and meant to vote 1. I was looking at the photos and voted backwards in the vote. Sorry

I like number 1.
I also like your flamed version.

I like #4. But seriously, I think #2 has a Chippy Foosey look to it - color line breaks where he tends to two-tone what seems like every Overhaullin' project. For some reason, #1 just seems like it would look too "top (exact) half is color A and bottom (exact) half is color B". I'd be afraid the popularity of the flames, although cool, would not outlive the paintjob itself and you'd be stuck with a the paint version of a 45 y/o guy still wearing his letter jacket from high school.

So, I'm wondering if you're gonna absolutely go with ONE of these options - or is a classy original paint scheme still a possibility? Hard to mess with Mother Nature, and Chevrolet... There is a way to "customize" a classy paint scheme by using metallics or pearls or different than factory colors - but using the stock color line breaks...

So, something like british racing green metallic with a pearl white roof.... I'm just spit-ballin' here.

One BIG question - although you show none - will you have any trim on the vehicle? If you have the side trim - I really, REALLY don't think #1, #2, or #3 will work - but I assume you're going brazilian in the side trim department, so it could work like that.

Anyhoo. I begrudgingly cast my vote for #2 (yes, I realize that puts me in the minority) but in the back of my mind I'm sincerely hoping you'll reconsider a variation on a proven stock theme. Either way - I cannot wait to see what you come up in and see it when it's finished!

I myself have settled on orange and white and will be going with the stock two-tone break lines.

I have not completly out ruled a stock paint scheme i do agree with the flames ya they look cool but for how long. i personally am kinda leaning torward #2 but still unsure. I dont plan on doing anything real fancy just a decent looking driver. I have opted to use fiberglass on the body instead of welding in the patch panels 1 for money reasons 2 becasue this truck is going to be a daily driver 365 days a year and fiberglass dont rust. Im not planning on putting any side trim on it but i do have the chevrons that go on the cab that i am thinking of using just to kinda offset everything.

[ckirk20603]

I think #2 is better than #1.....IMHO....but I'm likin' the flames..

[1Bad62Pro/Street]

Ole' 1Bad's choice....
Now somebody do some fancy Chip Foose designing and make the black orange. She would be white and orange, but with this scheme.


My next thought would be..............

[awbrown]

I thought it was like those magazines for kids where you have to find the one that is different , took me 4 looks at both before I figured it out ... it's been a rough day , I am ready for some rest..... I vote number 5 , truck all orange except from the bottom of the crease below the windows to the top all white... sorry , that's just me , oh and change the orange to a wheatland yellow and you've got it .....

one

[scottofksu]

Would you like the truck to look taller (#2) or lower (#1)? I realize this is probably not a primary concern but one you may want to take into consideration...
