The original pain was black. What paint combinations do you recommend and interior colors?

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.

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..

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)
