    I rather like solid green like this one. Local to the area I am in truck that gets the wheels driven off it on a regular basis.

    The black fender thing just doesn't do anything for me no matter what the other color is.

    My own truck will most likely be a deep dark red the next time out though.

    out of the 2 listed id choose green , will it be gloss or satin?

    hard choice on these, they always seem to look better in worn out beater paint that high gloss perfect paint

    Go all Green (don't really dig the black fenders either)
     
  17. I picked the red. Not a red fan but saw a 47 Chevy PU in town the other day painted like that with wide whites and man it looked killer.

    Depends on your purpose. Re-sale red or keeper-green. I used to be a two tone guy but all black now.

    partial to the green...but red is rad too. i prefer the solid colors as well...not so much on the black guards....unless you paint it black with black guards.

    v
    v
    v
