A buddy of mine let me play with Photoshop CS5 Extended, so I played with truck paint. Tell me what you think? Suggest colors? I think the 2 tones are nice. Everything so far in the link below. http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3812511/2 http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery/mantz_hunter_1961.html http://www.cardomain.com/ride/3812511/1961-chevrolet-apache
