What do you guys think?

Well first off I finally got some bigger tires on my truck. I was at the local junkyard and got 35x12.5s with the rims for 20 bucks a piece. Now Im getting ready to get it painted soon, what color or colors do you think would look good on it. I think Im between repainting it exactly the same, or a deep reddish burgandy metallic. Im open to any other opinions to.

Thanks in advance,
Blake

I like that color combination too. I would keep it the same so you don't have to fool with engine compartment, door jambs, bed etc.

I too like that color combination....the only change I would consider is painting the lower sides the same color all the way down...it will make the side trim stand out even more. That style trim looks too good to obscure with a color line.

I like the red, but I would paint the gray inset white instead.

Old school.

I like the two-tone paint job too, but I would leave the grey, I think it looks good.

I vote to paint it Red/Tan. I've always been partial to that color combo.

I'm with ri_truck_guy on painting the lower part under the trim the grey colour IF you're looking for a newer (FOOSE?) look. Otherwise paint it the same colours.
