Just wondering everyones opinion, Do you recommend keeping the original paint color shown on the title or do a custom paint job. The original pain was black. What paint combinations do you recommend and interior colors?

If you're referring to the truck you posted about the door alignment, I kind of like the color it is now. Black is tough to get looking good as it tends to highlight any imperfection in the bodywork. Just wondering why you want to repaint it.

BTW, you should go to your profile and fill out a signature with info about your truck, then everyone won't have to play detective to see what you're working on. I went to your previous posts to discover what truck you were referring to.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

Thanks Klhansen, I like the color too but I really like that deep maroon with metallic flake. Just want other color options that might make the pick-up really stand out.

I didnt think about my profile, have been on here very long.. Im headed there right now to correct it.. smile

Its your truck.......do as you wish. My vote would be to paint it black and put big white walls on it.....that will make it stand out and also allow for a change later on.
(why should I talk, I have a coupe that is originally Black but painting it.......yep, Crimson which is more of a maroon than a red)

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
I can explain it to you, but I can't understand it for you smile
