if it is lowered then something flashy like a silver flake base and a green candy paint job

If it is stock then a stock color

high preformance a nice tutome or tri tone black silver and red is my favorite

Gotta agree with Buzzy for most of this.

OEM looking truck needs an OEM looking paintjob, even if it's a little different color (like the two-tones with the Wimbledon White on the bottom half).

The faster the truck, the faster the paint should look. 8)

Unless of course you're deliberately TRYING to make a sleeper... :evil:

Lunar green, red, blue, it really doesn't matter as long as it has a white cab roof. I don't know what it is but to me ,ever since I was a kid (Born in 1963) I always thought that the 67-72's looked the coolest that way...

The 73-79's look even look good with the 2 or 3 tone color scheme.
I've owned a 74 LWB and a 75 SWB F100. My 76 Bronco was Dark Green with a white top.

For a hotrod...dark grey with ghost flames running to the back of the doors or front of the rear wheel well or ratrod style flat black.

Hi-boys and stockers deserve stock colors.

Mine will be lunar green with a white top someday. Most of my trucks have been the primer, rust, mud sort of urban camoflage style. It's fun to get all dressed up and take the wife out in the shrektruck. The looks on the valet's face is always priceless!
