I've been gone for a while but now I'am back..

Hey guys have been gone for a while but now Iam back. I have been working on my truck and hope to be done with it this week. I need all your help and advice on a sick new paint job or paint scheme for my truck. I changed it from flatblack to primer grey but now I'am stuck. I put up some pics up in my gallery but have no idea what color to paint it. Thanks for the help in advance!! Oh and any other ideas for the truck that might make it stand out would be great!!

So you want "any other ideas for the truck that might make it stand out would be great"

How about a blaze orange paint job and full neon lighting underneath.

Some how i just don't think you will need any help making it stand out no matter what color it is the way it looks right now.

Personally i would say Chrysler electric blue would be very nice.

That truck is a beast watch out for the hybrid's running around under your feet

I thought about that blue, but it needs to match the powder coated red undercarriage. Iam leaning more towards the Lexus IS Starfire White Pearl... Iam not sure though. Thanks for the compliments about my little beast.

Blue red and chrome go together real well in my book. My 69 gtx is b-5 blue with the oem black lowers and hi temp red brake drums and calipers. I have a ford 5000 row crop tractor with a red massy quick attach loader on it looks good as well .


Do you have some electric steps that fold back up to get into your beast?
I thought about suggesting to you a 10 or 12 inch smoke stack in the bed but with that big diameter by the time you got it tall enough to really look great you might hit an over pass

Well overall lift I don't know yet... but its got 46" Tall Tires and the airbags add an additional 10" of lift... so I wanna say 56" inches... I might be wrong though..

What year truck is it and what does it have besides the lift and tires? Is it an auto, what size gears are you running? I would go with a red color and black strips, that would look cool way up there.

Hope you are not a carpenter, your going to be working your butt off to get any lumber and tools into and out of that bed. Wow, that is tall!
