Trying to decide on paint scheme to do to my truck tomorrow....I got the hood painted primer black and primer grey...
Option 1: All Grey
Option 2: Grey with black top of hood (like it is now) and black roof and rear cab posts.(Beginning of a tu-tone scheme)
Option 3: Tu Tone, Which is basically option 2 with kinda a center section of the main body black ( black on top of Grey)
Option 4: My ideas suck, suggest one.
Ill just be doing the cab till i do the rest of the work to the bed. Thanks.

I've always wanted to see a truck with the Shelby paint scheme. Blue with two white stripes over the hood and roof.

Do they have Blue primer..lol. I almost got some red oxide primer for it..
Maybe the paint is starting to geet to me, im basically just covering it for the winter to keep the Mag off my metal.

Sounds like you know alot more about body work than I do. Go by a can of every color primer you can find and go for the tye-died look. LOL....

I tried painting it today, but i think the paint was freezing when it was coming out of the can....so ill have to do it tomorrow..lol, when i can pull it inside a garage up at work. Someone recommended that i do it cammo style...someone else recommended that every panel of the truck be a different color..lol..Im suprised about how good the paint i have now is covering..looks alot better than it did before, but some kid driving a damn minivan almost smacked into the dividing wall right infront of me when i was coming home from the store...if he woulda scratched my new paint, i woulda been irked.
BTW, the shelby theme might be a keeper, ive seen plenty of slammed 2wd trucks with it, but i cant remember if ive seen a 4x4 with it...You think white on blue, or red on black?

My dream colors for it would be a dark grey charcoal smoke paint, over an extreme shine black mirror paint, or the other way around... lol
BTW, you ever get those leafs on your Bronco yet?

Or what about the elenor paint scheme from gone in 60 seconds? That would look good.
Yea, i did and some stainless braided brake cables for the longer length but I still haven't had the chance or place to put them on. Sucks when your jack stands go to 22" and just touch the frame(sucks having a lifted truck :lol: ). I think it was cory that suggested to get a fork lift but not sure about that completely.
