Final Paint scheme decided
After much internal debate and arguing I have decided how I want the truck to look when it is all said and done. I was having a hard time deciding between flat or shiny and I have settled on shiny. Looking at pictures over and over of Yezzi's OJ and BlueJ swayed my decision. I am going to go with a stock(ish) two tone paint scheme. With that I am going to also change the front end to a 73-74 style and get all the body trim to go along with it. The truck will be geared more towards the strip(roll cage, fat rear tire/wheels) but I will drive it alot on the street so i want it to be nice.
I am going to go with a green/white scheme like this rendering: I just can't put my finger on the exact green/white or silver/white to go with and I would like some help deciding. Here they are: 1 Little darker lime green: 2 little bit lighter lime green: 3 little bit more lighter lime green: 4 Silver/white: 5 White:

Re: Final Paint scheme decided
#2 Green and #5 white. The grey doesn't look right in the center with green IMO

Re: Final Paint scheme decided
I like the 2 shades of green too.
I am leaning towards number 3 and the white. I have time to decide though.

Re: Final Paint scheme decided
That woodgrain pic makes me almost want to drill all the holes in mine for the trim!
