Pic request: red & white gen 8's

I think I've got my color choice down to a bright red/bright white. Just not sure how I want them painted on the truck.

Also looking for some inspiration for where the paint lines meet.

Goal: (?) (Yea, wrong year, but it looks similar to what I want my reg cab dually to look like)

Thats a fantastic color combo. If you do it, put the paint lines in the same place as the factory did. I know its the wrong year, but this one looks sweet!

You'll want to notice the 87-91 design has the same side bodypanels as the 92-97 (crease position, etc.) but the two paints do NOT meet at the same place. Don't rely on a 92-97 to see where you should have the paint lines.

The upper paint line on your truck should go from the top of the turn signal to the top of the taillight if you want it to look stock.

Found that beauty awhile back on a used car site and had to save it. Just had to bust it out since it so perfectly fits the request of a red/white 87-91. Sorry for the puke it may have induced.

At least they didn't ruin the truck and it can easily be put back to normal.

Kinda funny this came up.... I've been thinking about having the white center added to my all red 97 HD. Bought it new and just getting tired of all red, my 95 and 92 were red.
