    I would say either maroon, or a cool dark green.

    skip the maroon, there are sooooo many maroon 100's out there. Go with something a little different, I like the green idea already mentioned.

    Sure took a lot of body work to make that F100 to look like a Dodge, I kinda like a soft pastel type of color, green or maybe orange

    Oops, my bad:eek:
     
  10. There's a new Lexus dark red pearl that would look good flattened, it's got the "glow" that the Viper Blue has that makes it look good.

    I love the color on this truck that Cole Foster built. (please forgive the blatant photo thieving) It's kind of a Red Wine Satin color. super cool, it's a non gloss and a really cl***ic shade from the maroon/red family of colors.

    Hot Rod Flatz has a nice blue to consider as well.

    I don't have photshop but a combo I like is a maroon body with cream/yellow fenders, or maybe the flip, cream/yellow body with maroon fenders.

    I like that speed blue. I was considering a blue or orange from hot rod flatz. Choices, choices.

    Whatever color you choose, just go with one color.

    "just go with one color..."

    I have to agree. I like the Cole flattened red. In fact, dark green, dark blue, light yellow, there are all kinds of great choices that would look fantastic on that truck.

    I think doing the roof another color would be a distraction...
