What colour would you paint it?
My green 78 F250 is getting rusted here and there and needs some care this summer. I was initially planning to treat each rust spot individually and paint over but as long as I'm at it I thought maybe I'd try getting the whole thing painted a different colour. So what would you choose? Keep in mind the interior is still green so the colours should complement each other. Not black, too Green Hornet...

I saw this stuff at a sportsmans show a couple of years ago kind of like a magnetic sign, but it would cover the whole truck. you could go camo, or put running horses, or a picture of anything. Just a wild thought too wild for my rig. I am still thinking a dark blue for mine, But I always liked white. Right now primmer gray works for me.

You should try this green color. I have been wanting to see what it looks like.

I liked the dark metaliic green I used to see in the early 90s on Rangers and Explorers. There is so relatively little to the interior, why not choose any color and have the entire truck painted any color you like. I didn't spend a whole lot to have my bench seat reupholstered in the fabric of my choice.

It could be done but it would eat up a fair bit of time and money. Besides my vinyl seats are in really good shape for their age, maybe in 10 years.A shiny green paint might be interesting. Guess we'll see.
