is your truck painted this color

im thinking about having my truck painted at my boces school. i know some people in it and was wondering if you have a truck or vehicle painted these colors. i want to paint the exterior empire blue and have the intereior white. i would like it to replresent ford tractor colors but dont know how it would look. i like the idea of it but am hoping i dont regret if i go through with it. i would have the grill and rims painted white and the body painted the blue and have the bench seat blue and rest of intereior white. or was thinking of doing it the same way but do the body 2 one with blue on top and white on bottom or vise versa. or i was thinking of doing 2 tone black and orange. my favorite color is blue so thats what is what im leaning to orpossibly an all blue truck. if you got any pics of your trucks painted these colors let me see them not really sure what color to do.

With color schemes like that you want to have one dominant color and another as an accent. A blue exterior with a white seat may look good. I'd skip the white grille and go with body color or chrome. White wheels look good on almost anything, if they're done correctly. White rockers would tie the whole look together. You've gotta be careful with black and orange, it works well on some vehicles better than others.

This Typhoon belongs to a guy by the name of Pete Carney. Black and Orange works here because of the bodyline break just below the door handles. It's also a long, low truck so one color isn't overpowering the other. With a pickup you'd need to have a body feature that you'd paint the secondary color so it "balances" visually. Fender flares, running boards and rockers in black, the rest in orange. Or, Orange to the door handle area body line, then black from there up with a black tonneau cover or cap.
