New Paint

Met a deer the other day, wondering if anyone has any ideas or pics of some decent paint options for me. 81' custom, right now its the standard 2 tone silver/grey.

So you are looking to do a color change or keep the same color and just change were the colors break at?


If a color change it is opinion of what you want to go with.
As for color break could do anything but if you follow the lines not much you could do.

Wanting to switch it up, was thinking of doing a mix of black/offwhite like in the first picture, but Im looking to see if anyone has some pictures of some color schemes that look really nice. Im fairly narrow minded and I want it to look good.

Doing that same color break, same as yours, but wanted something a little different a metallic black that I think ford has on newer cars and then a peril white for the other color.


Some times the metallic in the black can have a color other than silver say blue or red and you can tint the peril with that color.
I think blue metallic black with a slite blue tint peril white would look good.

In no way shape or form is that true....just because you did not provide pictures,doesn't mean it did not happen.

we wont be going down to pick paint codes for about 6 weeks, my guy has a few other things to finish before he gets started even. Nothing is set in stone but I think im going with offwhite main color,black on the bottom body line around the wheels, black inside the body like across the doors fro the turn signal to tail light, and black roof and black on the panels beside the windshield.
