Hey guys, I have a 1981 chev 4x4 fleetside, long box with a 3" body lift and 31" tires. The interior is called Carmine Red (maroon) The headlight style is 4 lights. If anyone has any pics of nice colors or any ideas for colors, send me a message! Truck is completely primed and can be painted any color.

Silver, black, white, and gold would all match the maroon interior pretty good.

Not that i am a brown frak, but a nice dark metalic brown would go with the interior. Silvers met. grays would also be nice. I did a K10 short bed with red interior years back. I did a factory style two tone a dark strawberry red met. top and bottom with a medium / dark met. charcoal. At the break point I went 1/8" gray, 1/8" red, 1/4" gray, 1/4" red. On one side of the tail gate and on the back of both fenders I did a wooga wooga with the two 1/8" stripes.
