Johnny,
From the avatar, your pickup and mine have the same paint scheme.  I am gonna try to stay with a similar color setup.  Blue on top and med gray to charcoal on bottom, from body line down.  Probably all blue inside.

Oops I forgot the picture.  I took one of my son's Hotwheels pickups and painted it with my daughter's finger nail polish.  This is the third paint job it has had.  I find it works great to get an idea on what it will look like.  It can be removed with fingernail polish and start over again.  The pic is too big.  I'll add it with my phone.

What a great idea!!!   I love it.  Now I just need to go find a 73-87  hot wheels. I think I will use something other than my wife's finger nail polish though, I don't really feel like a pink truck kinda guy.

Another idea, probably easier, is to get some model paint from a hobby store.

Here's blue before I had the same thought of "blank canvas"...Would have kept it two tone but it also cost more...but paint is temporary and this truck was sprayed in the back of co-op. Next time I will drop 5-7k and make her look like this again..
