Custom paint job idea. Need input.

I am thinking about painting my truck and so i created it in photo shop to demonstrate my idea. Could everyone give me there input on what they think. A simple vote is all I need: yes, no, maybe if...

If you want to give more input that would be awesome.

Here is a picture of the truck as it is currently in its summer configuration:





Here are the pictures of how i would like to paint it, they are not the best but what ever.







Thanks,
Troy

I think that black looks good as it is on the yota, looks like the paint is in descent shape too. I wouldn't paint it, but thats just me

Personally, ....I like the pattern, not the blue, neither the white stripes. But we all have our own tastes. Very creative, indeed!

Now, I WOULD like that pattern with black on top, then gunmetal gray(or silver) on the bottom(or top) and in the middle of the hood and over the top. Maybe with a MUCH thinner dual-stripe/pinstripe of lighter silver/gray, where the white is?

PS> X3 on 'don't paint the bed, ....waste of paint if you're planning on using it at all.

Very Creative, ...props for that! ...And NICE TRUCK!

x3 on removing the pin strips, good clay/wax and be done with it.

I'd also take some DIY bedliner to the roll bar, remove the nerf bars and add sliders eventually if you have the funds for it.

Just my $.02,

Fink

I like your imagination if you can paint go for it if YOU do not like it you can do it again.

Yeah i think it would look sweet with the decals removed, then clay bar it and buff it and it will be awesome.

I think your paint job looks good, but there is a little bit to much going on for my taste.
