Projects what color

what color do you guys think:

the short-list is:
1940 ford standaard green
Gold metallic

or keep it black



but maybe you guys have a better idea

 

Clear,or black, or the green with black wheels, axles,frame etc.etc.
...........I dont know, just first thoughts.

 

green for that car

 

I am partial to black and gold...of course they call me BanditBilly for good reason. Cool truck, what running gear did you use? Old stuff or newer stuff. I ask because I like the color to match the rig as far as vintage goes. For example, I'm not into late model metallic on a flathead powered car. I'm not sure that makes sense now that I wrote it.

Nice metal work Frank, BTW

 

hot pink

 

clear....CLEAR!!!!!!!

 

I see it in metal flake orange with a white interior and aluminum wheels of some sort. Maybe tri rib radirs.

 

Seriously?
PURPLE!

Really. Grab one of your gals purple sweaters (they all have one). Walk into a Sherwin-Williams joint and tell 'em, "MATCH THIS". Grab some brushes and get after it.

 

Gold

 

Dark ford green.

 

Gold with white interior, and chrome wheels, for a 60s look.
Green with black wheels for a fifties look.

 

I'd paint Fred's avatar under the hood.

 

Makes my neck hurt just thinking about it!

 

Next time use the hood prop.

 

Anyway,....... Back to regular scheduled programing..............I think..........maybe........
After a little more thought, This is speaking to me today, Gloss black, gold striping and some cool lookin wood in the bed and maybe interior, like a old singer. (anyone interested,try looking up old singer sewing machine images) ..........Man! Some of these old singers are very fancy, always thought they were cool as is, before people started making tractors out of em,
(I had thought of the tractor thing before I started seeing them).......but anyway I think this classic look would look good on your truck, gloss black,minimal tasteful gold striping with gloss black wheels etc.

 

What color do you like? We can all goof on this but you will own it.

 

Go on the photoshop thread and have Moose try a few colors for ya.

 

I would normally say Black (I tend to buy or paint every vehicle black). But your truck to me begs for an early 60's show car vibe - Maybe Tangerine Pearl, white upholstery, some sort of period chrome wheels . . . . .
But the Black / Gold pinstripe / wood bed works too - and would be different since everyone seems to be doing 60's look lately.

 

I'd watch.

 

Exactly. 100%

 

Yea..........

 

Green

 

Here's a couple...

 

one more....

 

Yep! Nice work as always Moose.

 

Maroon, whatever you want though, shiny is my preference.

 

Dark Green with Gold pin striping.

 

X2, or gold trim of some sort.

 

Shoot it with some kind of acid & watch it rust ...

 

NICE im partly favor for the green i just made a set of lakster pipes out of a universal kit they turned out nice ill shoot some pictures tonight.
Also im going to make some brackets to mount the coil inside the cabin to clean up the engine bay. Im also debating a clean fuel set up for the three carbs to keep it looking as clean as possible
