paint colors
im going to be painting my truck in a couple months and i just want a few opinions on color
im going to use this color for all over the body
and i was thinking about putting this color racing stripes or something
im swapping my front end for a 92-96 and im probably going to paint the grille with it... maybe the bumper too unless i get a chrome one

1st. one looks way better, to me that's it. Strips make too much of an statement not true for a pick-up truck (just being fast doesn't mean you're in a sports car), that scheme looks good in a Ford GT 
(drools...), hell, you could even give me a pink GT with purple spots and i would be the happiest man ever...

I really like those colors for a two tone paint scheme, but racing stripes on trucks look like crap.
That Lightning looks wierd. I do not really like those two tones like that black and copper one either, but it does look pretty good.
I don't know if you know this or not, but the old Shelby Mustangs had a certain way of painting the LeMans stripes. It made them flow with the car. Having the stipes the same width all the way from front to back makes them look too skinny.
