Help with color selections




This is going to be more of a work truck/hauler. It is the burnt orange over tan.

Here are my ideas, please help me fine tune.

Orange color remains untouched.

rims are rough so they will be black

Tan will be redone with tan linex but higher, up to the body line that runs over the wheel wells and along bottom of tailgate like 08 line with large letters

Cover bumpers with tan linex

re-black brush guard and steps

paint center of grill orange and grill chrome tan

I want three colors orange tan and black just unsure what parts to do tan and which to do in black

If you have any pics please share.

I am wondering if i should keep the black plastic or tan it. Brushguard stay, which color, or go completely

which way to paint grill.

Doing black linex is cheaper, just not sure i want to go two colors.

I do not want chrome on this truck

Any more ideas or pics?

I am debating just doing all chrome in black rims, bumpers, outer grill

Two tone the lower in tan as above

Paint grey inside the grill orange

Tan the brush guard


Trying to figure out how to loose all the chrome but still look good

I think tan on bumpers and body that the runs in black will look out of place. But I think tan rims might be to much

2 is the cheapest way to go by about 500 or so. The colored linex is not that much more, but the labor to purge the lines is. So they seem to prefer to shoot black.

i been addinf differant options still trying for the ONE

I'd choose Kiowa green over the burnt orange.
