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

 

I would not like racing stripes on an old F-150, but a original scheme with the silver as the body paint and red at the side strips surely would look great.

 

idk.... which 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...

 

thanks for your opinion and i think i will go with the 1st one too

but should i paint the red on bottom and gray on top or the other way?

 

I'm not too much for 2 tone.. BUT, I'd go with the red on bottom and gray on top for sure!

 

thanks for u opinion lol coz thats what im thinking

 

yeah, she'll look good!

good luck bud.

 

Sounds like a plan man!! we better see some progress pics and some finished pics of it all

 

lol there will be a bunch of pics but i have to get other stuff taken care of first

like my a/c, lifters, leaking oil pan, 200amp alt, and tires....

and i have to find a 92-96 front clip at a junk yard then im gunna paint it :P

oh yea im taking the mirrors on it off and swapping for the newer ones too..

 

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.

 

Silver top! red bottom! .

 

hmm what a quwiky dink, i got to do lifters and oil pan too when i get a chance to tear it down once about october rolls around i hope it'll be cooler and work in the hay field will be done, but my lifters arent that bad, i really just want to check them to see if my motor is a H.O or not

 

lol i think i got one broke down... or the rockers loose... and any event... its got 125,xxx miles and i can put all new ones in and some 1.7 rockers....

might as well beings im going to have the intake off any way lol

 

thats what im scrapin my pennys for is to get some 1.7's and maybe, just maybe a lumpy cam and if my motor isnt a H.o i will do a cam and rollers, but im not sure yet,the only thing i am sure about is doing the 1.7's
