if you have chips or scratches in it, id suggest a factory color respray, with maybe a painted pinstripe if ya want

i like simple paint jobs, two-tones are the most id ever get, but mostly just simple colors

I think a dark gun metal grey might be nice.

dont know, i wouldnt do it

the only time id two-tone anything is an old-school hot rod, like a early 50s ford f100 truck or the similar, and then itd be like black and tan-ish or black and orange

i say, for your truck, just get it the same color and get everything colormatched, it looks great

One of the most striking color combinations I've ever seen was a truck featured in a magazine that was GM Dark Metallic Garnet (maroon) with GM Pewter flames...can't remember the color of the pinstripe used to trim out the flames. Anyway, I thought that was a GREAT two-tone color combination!

Good luck!

I think some pearl white would look pretty good with that maroon!

I thought about blacking out the roof and hood down to match the over rail bed liner line. Then add a black or maroon pinstripe.
