Hey all, I am finally getting ready to paint my truck and still haven't decided for sure on a specific paint color. I am doing two tone red and "white" but I want the white to be more of a cream (I'd like to see examples of antique ivory and pastel sand). For the red, I want to use Ford "bright red" "candy apple red" or "rangoon red" but would like to see examples before choosing. Any ideas? Also, PO gave me some of the racetrac trim in a box... 5 of the required 8 pieces. I need both bottom pieces for the bed and one of the front fender pieces. Soon I will have a lot of parts for sale. I have a wrecked (front end damage) 2001 F-150 supercab 4x4 with 5.4 which is complete, a 1997 F-350 DRW 2WD flatbed which donated it's 7.3 ps engine, 5 speed trans and computer to my 79 that I will be getting rid of eventually. I will also be selling the engine (400M) transmission and xfer case (4 speed and np 205) from the 79 F350. I guess I should have split this post up...
Also, the new way to post photos is nice, but it would be better if there was a way to minimize the "ad choices" pop-up that hides the button to link the photos... oh well, at least "cancel" is still an option.

 

NBC_Steve's "Candy Cane" comes to mind...

Red/white ideas, without and with race trac trim.

FYI being a paid supporter of the site ditches all that BS.

 

Thanks guys! I sent NBC-Steve a PM. Any info on the paint codes for the bottom two trucks? The paint chart I have seen says there were 3 different "red" choices (Rangoon, Candy Apple, and "Bright Red") anybody have some pics of the "Rangoon" vs. "candy apple"? Same question for "pastel sand" vs. "antique ivory". As always, thanks for the help!
