What color should I paint my truck?
I am planning on painting my '70 C20 this weekend. Nothing special, just tired of the white paint.
It is a white Custom Camper 20 with upper and lower trim. It only has some minor surface rust which I'll be repairing prior to painting. Just wanted to get some opinions.

Re: What color should I paint my truck?
Most people go into this with a little more planning and lead time. My recommendation would depend on how far you want to go. If you just want to add some color I would recommend a variation on the "special two-tone" factory paint scheme.
Most two-tones base on a body color with white trim or color and color on some truck with contrasting roofs. However there were variations through the "special paint" order system. This truck pictured is a reverse of the "special two-tone" by using a white primary with color below the rockers and on the roof. It would change the appearance of your truck and still keep the white interior. Thinking a blue or a green would look great. Maybe red if that is more to your liking while still being different.
