want to try something diffrent for my '57 3200.
has anybody on here ever experimented with 2-toneing their truck?
I really like the look of dark green body with black fenders. I think it looks nice. I know its not stock, but that dosent matter to me. Anybody have pics of TaskForce years trucks that have this paint combo???? Any color pics are appreciated. It dosent have to be green/black. THANKS!

What you describe would look okay on Art Deco or earlier trucks but not on a TF. Just my opinion. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2006 Posts: 443 | You really can't paint the front fenders different, and if you had the truck green & the rear fenders black it would look like you had a green truck with a pair of new e-coat fenders that didn't get painted. The only way they came 2 tone that I know of is the roof white & the body a separate color, or the roof & upper section of doors & upper back panel white & separate body color. If you really have your mind set on 2 tone, try THIS
