What colors should I use for paint.

Looking to paint the PSD just having a hard time deciding on two colors to used i am wanting to keep the two tone that drops down at the fender but without all the pin-striping in the lower color. Here is a current pic of it only color i do not want a lot of is red a little is ok but not as a main color.

Some questions for you.
1. Is this a photo of the truck your are repainting?
2. What is the current primary color (inside of door jams, under hood & inner fenders, ft of bed & bk of cab) of the truck (looks green)?
3. What is wrong w/ the current paint that you want to repaint it?
4. Why do you want to change the primary color of the truck (if its not done right w/ all the jams it looks like a turd)?

I think the truck's current paint sceme looks dated but other than that it looks ok. Why not just reshoot the lower color in silver, charcoal, gray, or a different green (if it is green). White would be too bright & black too dark IMO.

ccarrier, I'm with you, I like it. Who cares if its 'out dated' but that's only their opinion. If its not broke don't fix it.

i wouldn't change a damned thing! Buuuuut, if your going to anyway, my favorite two tone has always been blue and white. Although idk how it would look with the curved two tone setup. All black iOS my other favorite color or these old trucks.

I would also not change much about the color, what I would do is to brighten up the silver so it can make the other color pop out.

I have always been a fan of blue and I think the "Blue by You" and the "Tunnel Ram metallic gray" combo would really pop on your truck.
