Post by: oldwhity on February 17, 2009, 09:59:38 am: I'd go with the 2-tone too. Just for the cost factor alone.

This looks so sweet, like the wheels, usually prefer dished steelies but they look nice with that colour combo

Does anyone have any info on this truck or whos it is? Love those wheels
Title: Re: help pick the color
Post by: werewolfx13 on February 20, 2009, 02:11:23 am: That's a sweet shade of blue you picked, I would have probably thrown my vote for the 2 tone knowing you weren't going to be putting the trim back on, though I would have opted for the darker brown "Indian Bronze" (what my whole truck is painted) to go with the "mahogany custard" (tan) instead of that one, the name of which escapes me.
Title: Re: help pick the color
Post by: jay6776 on February 20, 2009, 06:15:22 pm: Yeah i like the browns. But have not really done anything of mine blue.. When I saw that color blue thought it would look really good against all the chrome
Title: Re: help pick the color
Post by: Maintenanceman on February 20, 2009, 08:48:43 pm: Those are Chrome modular wheels on that truck.
