There are way too many color combos. It's just a personal preference. I'm going to paint my panel like my avatar. It's Ford Ruby Red Metalic. I've see many trucks (back in the 70-80s) with light bodies and dark fenders. Gold/Black, Light/Dark Blue, Green, Gray, etc. Your choice looks good too! Are you planning to paint the running boards to match? I think some colors depend on how much Chrome you're going to have.

I ca'n't remember the brand, it was something common like Sinclair? I just remembered, it is Sherwin Williams.
I recently had a fender repaired by bobco and I think he used PPG base coat clear coat and it matches up perfectly.

Yes I will be coming to the Western Nationals this year.I was surprised to see how busy you have been with your truck mods. I am anxious to see it in person.
