Flat dark blue or navy would look good.... I've had my F1 for a long time, and have seen lots of good examples of them, they look good in almost any color. Mine is red with black fenders. White with black fenders looks good too.
Candy Tangerine Carmel Floss with Bridal Vail Lace Vibrant Green Highlights. Or since it's your wifes Truck what ever floats her boat. Use your own imagination, not someone elses.
I think a flat burnt orange color with white or green acscents. Or flat purple with some gold leaf engine turned leafing would look bitchin. Or for gloss color candy rootbeer brown with gold leafing.
Spoons, since your in the air craft trade, how about using some gray and white combo with some red striping and may be some old "nose art" on the side. Sorta like the 40's bombers and fighters. Just a thought. If not, I like the dark blue satin in the photo shop post. Dennis
