Hi All! I am working on a 51 3600 and I am glad to see that there are so many local people involved! Now for the big question, should I paint my truck VA Tech colors?!!!

Okay, Should the cab be maroon and the fenders be burnt orange or the other way around. I am no good with colors and can't see in my mind which way would look better. Thanks for the help!

Is there any photoshop gurus out there that can help Rick visualise his colour scheme?

I traced the outline of a 3100 from a picture in a model kit. Used acrylic paint and painted the truck both way, one with the cab burnt orange and fenders maroon, the other with the cab maroon and the fenders burnt orange. No contest, the burnt orange cab with maroon fenders and running boards looks better. Now, should the outside of the tailgate be the same color as the cab or the fenders?
