Let's talk paint
With these old dentsides, you usually have to have trim to pull off a 2 tone paint job. I've been looking at some paint colors and am having a hard time choosing what I want to do. For some reason, I am not completely drawn into putting a lot of trim on my truck, but still want the 2 tone....
So, how do you think this would look in metallic dark blue and tan? (With a nice shiny chrome rear bumper of course)....

All the Eddie Bauers ('91 and later Explorers, 1980's and later: F Series, Bronco's, Aerostars, etc etc) feature tan or beige accent paint with whatever other colors were/are available with the particular vehicle.
The older Bauers used Navajo Tan, the newer models use Arizona Beige which is a slightly lighter shade than Navajo Tan.

If I go metallic blue, then I won't have to paint the interior of my truck. The seat is tan, so I just may keep that too.
I was already knocking these colors around, but the question was where/how to put the colors so I wouldn't need trim... but now I have a real good idea of what I am going to do.
For some reason, I think it looks bold as %*&$ to lay pinstripe where the trim would normally go!
