Something Different Paint Combo

I saw this and thought this unusual combination could grow on me
I tend to like being a little different sometimes

Re: Something Different Paint Combo

That is different, and unique. I can't say I would have done mine that way, but I certainly wouldn't be ashamed to be seen in it. It's nice!

Re: Something Different Paint Combo

My first thought was "I don't know,,," but I think it could grow on me. Dare to be different.

Re: Something Different Paint Combo

For better or worse, it sure is an attention grabber!!!! I'd drive the wheels off of it, but I don't think i'd go out of my way to choose those colors. Nice find!!!

Re: Something Different Paint Combo

That is pretty likable in my book. And classy also, could even reverse the colors and would look great too!

I think the green looks ok but the gold has gotta go.

Re: Something Different Paint Combo

I only like factory 2-tone. IMO, that truck would look 10x better in solid paint using either color. Odd Ford looking 2-tone combo, woodgrain trim (on Custom Deluxe), and RWL looks too busy for me. I don't like a lot of make-up on women either
