I see what you mean with the WW. I think it depends on the individual truck as some can pull it off and make any color look good. Years ago I remember seeing a yellow F250 4x4 have the same 2 tone paint like the Merc above. With a white roof and rest yellow. Ever since I'm a huge fan of old yellow fords.

If you are changing the main color, I hope you do the whole cab, inside too. Nothing looks worse than a halfassed color change IMO.

Hey Hio, do you have some sort of computer program/app to change colors like that? Where did you get that? I need something like that, because I can't make up my mind on a color? Part of me says to leave it original Meadowlark Yellow, cant decide if I should 2 tone it?

Two-tones are cool. My personal preference is a WW roof, color in the middle, and WW below the bump... green, blue, red, orange. I'm not a fan of bright yellow on these trucks... It just doesn't look right to me. All meadowlark yellow looks nice n vintage.

HIOSILVER, Can you do the hunter green on the lower " bump line " ( bottom of panels, thin line around fender bottoms and bottom of doors ) so this image shows the green sandwiching the white along the sides? Thanks, Todd

I know its not green but this is Wimbledon White with clear coat, I have always been partial to the white in the middle and accent colors on the roof and below the bump line.
