Black always looks good. Hard to keep clean and shows every little defect, dent, scratch, etc. If you go with the black paint job, I think polished aluminum wheels would look much better, but that's me. Also, if you add the upper chrome trim to your truck it would look great. Just some ideas.

For these trucks, I like black, and some kind of blue. Either some kind of two tone or solid blue.
My Bronco looked so so when I first got it, and after a few chrome things here and there it looked a lot better.

I have all kind of pics of it in different stages in here:

Ever see some of the limited production's that come in 3 colors Only?
Red-- Black -- White

You will be a slave to a wash rag. Black will be atleast 20deg hotter in the summer time. [Dark Blue & Green are not far behind that]

So what to do for the heat factor? Top panel's are White.

Thank You. I just finished the paint.

Silver on the top is done too.

Two-tones like this, as you can see give it a higher end look to it.

This is a pix, so you can see what it looked lik factory stock. The Black now runs to the bottom of the rocker panel and goes higher on the style line.

It reall did make for a total face lift. the wife keeps shaking her head.
"It looks like we have company. I don't know that truck." HeHe

It also is a better match for the boat now.



In a Sea of 90% White boat's a Black one Alway's turns heads.
