Cant Decide!
 
I cant decide on a paint color! I either want a bright orange, or a neon green. I have been going back and forth for a few months and I need to pick quickly haha. Now that Ive sorted out my emissions/drivability issues and everything is sound. Id like to get some paint on this rig. The interior is black exepct for a few small accents that will be body color. Any opinions on what color might look better on these trucks? Ill see if I can post images on the color im thinking..

The black interior will be very hot, IMo. which color do you like best, you could also have the paint shop create a pic of your truck with both colors so you could see what it would look like ( I like the hugger orange myself)

Orange x4

Just don't think the NEON Green would look good on these trucks.

When I think neon anything... I think of the outrageous paint scemes of the 80's and 90's... no way.

Maybe a hugger orange color...

I think you would get tired of the neon green color after a short while. You will also always have to answer the question: "Why did you decide to paint it that color?"

I make another vote for orange.

I wonder how those two colors would go together? Neon Green and Hugger Orange?

And then maybe have a Baby Blue interior.

Check out stacy david's "copperhead" '67 chevy build. Now that is a cool orange!

If you want to do neon green, go look at the Synergy Green that GM is using on the new Camaro. It is rather intense & it's always nice to keep the color in the family so to speak. Another thing to think about is exploring old color charts to find something you like & use that. Sometimes years around your truck but done on cars can look real sharp. That being said, I personally like era-correct colors no matter where you find them.

You're the one that has to live with it for a while so think a lot about it but pick one you really like so you don't get tired of it or the questions from others. ;)
