Combinations I'm considering:
Orange w/ Maroon tube
All Maroon w/ big orange VT on the hood
Black like it is w/ charcoal tube work
Royal blue w/ Charcoal tube work
All white
Comments/other ideas?
The tube work will include the bed, sliders and front bumper.

Damn, I was leaning towards the blue/charcoal as well since the interior of the truck is already blue. But I guess yours is too, huh? lol

Well, if we did the bodies the same color and the tube different, they wouldn't be gay and matching, and we could save on paint and spray them both at the same time...
Maybe? I'm only gonna be in the area for another 7 months or so anyway, so who cares if they're the same color?

are you gonna do door jams? cause if you dont, blue and charcoal is my vote. if you do, then pink with hearts all over it.

Yeah, I hadn't thought of the door jamb issue.
Stinson, any idea what paint would cost to shoot the cab blue? Planning to just rattle can the tube work.

you could get some good paint for 150-200 bucks, or get the duplicolor. I have only used thier rattle can stuff for small things and it worked good. Duplicolor has a bad ass gun metal that I was going to use for my tube work. Stuff is cheap

btw i am going to do my jambs too. Just pull the door and paint it off the truck, and mask off the door opening and shoot the jamb while doing the cab.

That's actually not as bad as I expected. I wonder how good the paint is?
What about Desert Sand in a flat or matte finish w/ black tube work and black wheels? I think it would look pretty cool, and wouldn't look filthy all the time I don't think. It's obviously not a show rig, and I don't really ever intend to wash it, so it would be nice if the color didn't make it look even dirtier than it already was.
