Two tone ideas!

So I just noticed this view of my beloved



And it's got patina showing pretty well, roof is almost starting to get rusty so I'm thinking a paint job is in the works

I'm thinking a silver top. Meaning from the groove/bodily line up a nice Metallica and while I'm at it the bottom re-blacked. Unless my factory color code is a dark grey( still waiting on my build sheet to come in

What about you guys? I LOVE The black rugged look but I also love the normal black and silver two tones.
Do y'all think it would look good with an unnatural two tone? Also if I keep the chrome trim?


I've heard of people with rat rods clear coating their old paint and it looking the exact same, but I don't know how what they used. I figured it would be shine hand I like the flat look

Okay now I'm thinking about the explorer style


Black on bottom, gun metal grey, then silver? And a tailgate for my truck.

Now I feel horrible and call people names when they out the wrong tag/ body parts on a vehicle. Authenticity reasons. I've fallen inlie with the new f350 platinum and have been itching for a style like that. How bad do you think it would be to put explorer tags on the bed?

I've always liked the two tone blue and off-white.

That is beautiful man! Lots of work out into that! I'm not so sure a silver top and bottom like that would look good on my truck tho, maybe if I did black top and bottom and the rest a nice silver/grey. I don't. Know. I need to come up with a few renderings one day

Thanks..It's hard to see, but there is an orange pinstripe between the colors. It's the factory paint scheme..

Yeah I thought I saw a pinstripe, wasnt sure what color though.

I'm really interested in how the did the cab and rounded it on the doors instead of just the cab and such.
