Projects help me pick a color for my roadster pickup !

so heres the deal ! my roadster pickup is getting close to being able to squirt some color on but i'm having a hard time deciding on a final color ! narrowed it down to 3 i think ! the engine and wheels are already victory red so here's the ideas ! seafoam green with red upholstery ! color of the valve covers pictured ! victory red like the engine , with a white firewall and grill insert with white upholstery ? and the final color is a beautifull new ford truck color a really bright blue which i would go red upholstery ! thoughts , suggestions ! thanks brock !

 

Its in a thread around here but I saw a rpu with a nice deep blue with red interior, red wheels w/BW. I think a cream firewall would look great. Just my opinion but what do i know im just a young punk.
I like your rpu though it looks good now.

 

the green ....defineatly....the green

 

i like the color it is now but that is just my opinion.

 

At first I thought the green, but now Im thinking the blue. Either way it will be a big change. What you gonna run for wheels, same ones or go a different route?

That things super classy the color it is.

 

same wheels for now with the wide whites ! got a set of 40 ford wheels i may run later on with some ribbed front tires and dirt track rears ! yeah guys it didn't look to bad in the color it was but the whole truck is undergoing a complete makeover ! cab box frame , etc everything is stripped and its time for a change !

 

Paint it all PINK

 

you must have been talking with my girlfriend !

 

Flat black with skulls & spider webs.................alright, alright definitely the green.

 

haha seafoam green and red were what my wife chose as our wedding colors...


....... it actually looked pretty good. lol

 

I really dig the seafoam color, but would probably advise on another upholstery color choice over the red. It could end up looking "Christmas-y"? I do like the two colors together on the valve covers though, very nostalgic looking. Maybe white upholstery with the seafoam paint?? I agree with several of the other folks too...your RPU looks killer as it sits!

 

Are you keeping the orange grill and #2?

 

Blue with white interior and the engine red. What are you another one of those sneaky guys trying to fool people using T-bird valve covers on a SBF ... nice job on the sneakiness.

 

nope completely new color scheme and no #2 anymore !

 

not trying to fool anyone , just coundnt find any sbf covers i liked that were tall enough to clear roller rockers , they're all billet , so i had my buudy whip me up a set of adapters to run the bird covers !

 

I would have gone with a desert sand kind of color and accented it with the orange and maybe brown

 

I think the blue! That would look good.

 

Here's a green one

blue

 

Do you watch Trucks on the speed channel? They are working on a S10 I believe that is painted "anti Freeze green". Hubby has gone totally bonkers over the color, is thinking about painting our 66 Catalina in that color, but it certainly is an attention getter. The base coat is metalic silver with PPG anti freeze green top coat (not sure how many coats (?) then clear coated, it is one big eye popper!!!

Nice ride. Deep metallic blue with red or tan interior. Do not need everything to color match. A hi lite color of a yellow or something to make other colors pop. That can be done with pin stripes. Did you take any pics of valve cover adapter that you can post?

 

Blue

 

I like them in red.<center>

If you are even considering a non-solid dark blue, my 37 was painted an OEM '04 Mazda Stratos blue mica - seen on the 3 series sedans. Very nice, brighter and deeper than any of the regular OEM blue colors running around by any mfg. Small metalic. If there was any more red in it, it would have been purple. Way cool at night.

What red paint is this? How would it look clear coated / gloss? Gary

 

I don't know. It was painted by the old man I bought it from. I bought it out of his storage when he moved to retirement home. I assume it is a single stage enamel. I'll ask him next time I see him. Looked better quality than tractor paint to me. Red tractor paint is only about $30 a gallon but is softer and fades quickly. This one had a hard finish but not clear coated.

 

Thanx. I'm about equally torn between a color like this (a faded red but not chalky) and a "light" maroon for my new project. Gary

 

i'm about as bad as a girl when it comes to changing my mind ! kinda thinking along the lines of washington blue or the red now !

 

another vote for dark blue and white
