Painting the truck

[THUNDERBIRD 10+ year member]

i have seen pics of them with a light green almost the color of my car and a cream bottom it is nice. what about a peral gold? or a midnight blue that almost looks black. only issue with black is it will cost u more kuz it will show EVERY imperfection.

Orange looks good, and that yellow isn't that bad. But make sure you completely jamb the truck and do it right. I hate trucks with door sills, back of panels, etc the wrong color.

When I paint it, EVERYTHING is coming out of the truck inside and out (including engine)

Maybe I'll have the frame painted too

oh and.....light colors go on top. its the way to do it, dark on top makes it look odd, imo.

Grant, I like it, lost the image though. Still got it?

Orange is the only color I could get most of my friends to agree on, and I like it too.

here's the thing about fancy paint jobs... is they're more expensive to fix. if you brought me any solid color to touch up because you got nailed by a rock on the freeway, it would be a lot easier and cheaper to fix. but once you start going candy and pearl it's a lot hard to match perfectly, so it's more labor and the paint is more expensive.

so keep that in mind...

as for my input on the colors. i'm a sucker for two tone paint jobs, so that's the route i would go. that's how i'm doing my beetle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
