thatz4u Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Todd, I'd go with one of the blue shades, but that's just me...:
CFMgarage Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 I agree with Al...but Todd, you're gonna do a couple hours of sanding before you paint it right???
The Danish sprue wrangler Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 looking at the build im thinkin . orange bottom and silver top or purple top and silver bottom .
Snake45 Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Vietnam-era "Tiger Stripe" camo. I've always wanted to do a car or truck in that scheme.
espo Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 What colors do you like ? Have you seen a similar truck somewhere that is your inspiration ?
iamsuperdan Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Dark Grey Metallic upper half, black lower half, lime green or Smurf blue detailing/striping.
Agent G Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 Get that body in primer then re-post. It will be better when the completed body lines are visibleG
Lizard Racing Posted May 13, 2016 Posted May 13, 2016 A nice pearlescent white would be nice. Regardless, do what looks good to you.
todd.clark Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Here ya guys go after primer so you can see the body lines and also which rims do you guys like on it. The spinner type, the torque thrust type or the pointed ones on the front
mustang1989 Posted May 14, 2016 Posted May 14, 2016 That's some pretty awesome body work there Todd!! White pearl above the side trim and purple metallic below it is what I'm thinkin', however it's been posted here already.. 1.) What colors do you like? and 2.) Have you seen a similar truck somewhere with a paint job that strikes your interest?
todd.clark Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Thanks I really appreciate that. Ive been doing paint and body work on real cars off and on since I was 13 with my stepfather. And I really like purple but already have 3 purple out of the 10 I have done.lol. but no I havnt seen any ill have to do some research on some custom paint jobs. And see what I come up with.
todd.clark Posted May 14, 2016 Author Posted May 14, 2016 Alright guys I picked a top color for it. Its pearl platinum. Then ill probably do a blue on the bottom.
Perspect Scale Modelworks Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Why not go wild with a yellow, orange or rootbeer? Maybe a light blue. It's really all about what you like. Excellent body work by the way.
todd.clark Posted May 15, 2016 Author Posted May 15, 2016 thanks buddy. but yeah i might go with a rootbeer color ive been wanting to do one with it for awile. idk shoot im at a war with myself in my head.lol
Roadrunner Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 Is it going to sit higher than what's shown in the photos?
todd.clark Posted May 16, 2016 Author Posted May 16, 2016 No I was gonna make it slammed with airbags on it. Tanks in the back and everything. I took the only speaker I had and tried to mold some more with it so I could build a box in the back seat.
todd.clark Posted May 17, 2016 Author Posted May 17, 2016 Here is an update you guys. Idk if I like it. I might scuff it back down and redo it one color. I also sculpted the back seat into a speaker box.
gatorincebu Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I think I would stay with the colors you have already used, and maybe add a red pinstripe for a color break . But like someone has said earlier. It is your model, build it your way.And have fun with it ! You are doing some nice work here keep it up. Be Well Gator

Be Well GatorX2Like the colors............and yes a red dividing stripe would set it off perfectly! NICE WORK!
kilrathy10 Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 Either way, it's gonna look good.....I'm partial to orange, but most of y'all know that..... So, I say paint it all orange.....Body work looks great, though....I JUST bought one of these.....Never liked the supplied rims, but I have others....I may be giving this one a go really soon....
CFMgarage Posted May 19, 2016 Posted May 19, 2016 I withdraw my previous statement as your bodywork turned out AMAZING!!! Can't wait to see more.
darthsideous Posted May 22, 2016 Posted May 22, 2016 I like the silver and blue paint scheme. Looks great!
