I'm looking for some paint ideas. I was kinda thinkin yellow with blak racing stripes. Maybe purple for my girl friend. Maybe black? Maybe dark grey? Can you guys give me some paint schemes and color ideas? Pics would be great.

I used 95-97 dodge viper blue. It has that hot rod blue quality about it and looks beautiful on these body styles.

That is a gorgeous color! Just, wow.  I can kind of picture that in a purple tone. I like it.

Here is the purpleish shade of it. It was called Sapphire Blue Metallic. I didn't like it once I saw it in the sun.

What is that Sapphire Blue Metallic off of?

It is pretty good paint. The clear coat lays down really nice.

Ughh. I wish there was a more purpleish color. I dont want a plum purple, but like, a deep purple. If you know what I mean?
Purple like THIS, purple.

That's a great site Ace, Looks like they have a pretty good selection of colors, and priced right. That's a great deal on those kits.  Did you paint your own? and if so did you have to reduce the paint any.

The kit came with all reducer needed. I painted my own in my back yard chasing off squirrels and bugs.

Don't paint a truck for a girlfriend, the next one might not like the color

Post up a pic of your truck so we can see what you're working with.

This is the truck. I got real sick of the brown, so I went down to walmart and bought 6 cans of spray paint for 20 bucks and changed it to an army green just until I can do the body work and primer.

And here is the majority of the truck painted. I pretty much finished all of the tight spaces and what not.

This will get me by for now. I'm happy with the color.
