What would your next color of your truck be if you could paint it.

I had an '01 F150, and it was dark highland green. Id love to paint my bronco that color. I see all these ricers running around with orange, yellow, and light blue paint schemes...drives me crazy. Keeps the cops busy though (so they arent tailing me )

A deep metallic blue with purple, grey, or black ghost flames. Very subtle, but very sweet. : )

Same as it is now!!!

Two tone gold (or Sandstone). Reason is that you only have to wash it once a year whether it needs it or not. No one knows the difference!!

I always liked basic black, so I guess I'd leave my truck the way it is now. But my next truck will be ALL black

if i could paint "Ole Red" any other color, it would have to be a nightmist blue, or either back the same color.

With the blue i'd want a little metallic, and some grey ghost flames...sounds super wicked to me!

Same color as it is now. Bright Ragatta Blue Metallic. Very purty color. Almost the same as the Ford oval on the front.

My 1975 still has the orginal paint. Two tone emerald green and white. It's a little faded in parts but overall, it doesn't look too bad.

When it comes time to paint it, I'll probaby go back with the original color.

I like cool colors best on my cars.

Gotta agree with Carlene here... some color that does'nt show dirt. My truck is black and silver from the factory, has'nt been washed in the new millenium, and probably won't be as long as I own it. You can still tell what color it is, but silver is pretty well flaked off of it on the passenger side.

I had a 1994 F150 extended cab that was dark blue metallic. I liked it pretty well, and would'nt mind if my next truck was the same color. The 1985 Ranger I had before it was sort of the same color, too.
