what color???

ok ive been on the fence about this for a looooonnggggg time and still havent decided. So im gonna need some help here. im going to get the truck painted once im done with the lift and rims and tires and stuff but need to decide on a color...or two? as you can see i was experimenting with black, and the truck is white to begin with. my choices are black, black with stripes, white, white with stripes, or some two tone besides white and black...





and for the colors and stripes what color stripes do you think i should do?? and i was thinking of throwing two medium size stripes down the hood and back to th bed. any other ideas? let me know what you think.

what about this, its not white or black but perhaps a nice dark blue all over, then have a nice light blue pinstripe on the side? what ever you decide, should look nice with the stuff you want to do to the truck.

i was thinking of dark blue too. lol but again not sure. and the only reason why i dont really want black as much is because of the window tint. that and black is over used.

yeah black is over used i agree.. but i think with a nice dark mettalic blue with a nice light blue pinstripe it would look really really good. also, any pictures of the interior? or what color is it because you want to make sure you have the right 'clash' of colors inside/out.

If your going to be taking it offroad, i would NOT paint it black. Black shows dirt/scratches/etc the worst. I would go white/silver/any light color.
