New paint

Ok i am at a rough point in a ford truck builders career!!! I am gonna spray the beast but i am undecided on colors. I have this idea of the blue thats on it, kinda lighter blue with white one the side and a white pin stripe to boarder it and a white cab, or a matte color something old school, like ford blue, black or brown! Keep it looking older, but i want to keep the interior the way it is, and that the most expensive part or paint. If i paint it then i am redoing interior with king ranch interior... So do i do it the old school or new mod looking??? Wheigh in your thoughts boys!!!!!

Old school is cool , i went factory color on mine .
if i had another to do i'd semi gloss back it with flat silver grille and trim .

if you're handy with photoshop you can take a picture of your truck and make the changes on your pc first .

Old school all the way. Mine's staying factory Pure White, red interior (decided against doing it in black) with fire red pinstriping and Ford letters on the tailgate. red powdercoated steelies with tri bar knockoff hubcaps, and chrome beauty rings.

I'm doing the King Ranch leather interior in mine as well. (Seats, door panels, dash, and sun visors)

When it comes down to picking a color that works best with that color of interior. I came up with about 3 or 4 different options. All of which are some variation of green. Hope that helps.
