Well...if you're going not-so-subtle, try "Papaya Orange (it's an Audi color) and vintage white:

I'm partial to stone white (Dodge). Metallic red/ burgandy on new Fords, slate blue on Land Rovers, and pepper white on Mini Coops. I'm like you I would need help choosing!!!

Can you help narrow it down a bit , or are you that undecided ?

Metallic or not ?

a classic old style type color or something more modern ?

dark color or light color ?

as an example , I usually prefer deep rich colors , metallics mostly :

Candy Brandywine - (maroon from HoK )
Black Sapphire - ( Volvo /BMW / others - very very dark metallic blue , almost looks black sometimes)
2000 Rangerover Green - Nice dark metallic green , think army green , but shiny and metallic
What do you prefer ?

I love metalic colors . That orange looks awesome.
I like dark colors dark metalic gray, or so.

I would have never thought picking a color for my build could be this hard but intriguing.

It was my hardest build decision. I drove to every car dealership in town. That was the biggest help. See a color you like, look at the window sticker. I ended up picking a BMW color. Also go to the local mall and write down the make and model of colors you like and then search colors for that make and model.

Good luck, you'll change your mind at least twice between now and getting it painted.

Man oh man what a challenge! I haven't even cracked a nut on mine and I have changed color and diection more than once... I feel for ya with the decision. I am not a fan ofred but after this weekend seeing several red EB's.... there are just too many colors that they look good in.

Personally, I really like the bronco in the vintage Baby Blue that Ford used to paint them. You don't see it that much anymore and I think that it would look SHWEEEET! ;D

My truck would be that color but I got talked out of it by my guy friends who insisted that it was a Chick/Girly color. I say BS! I went with the Burnt Orange that I really like but if my ride ever get repainted it may be getting switched to the vintage Baby Blue/Powder Blue that they used to use.

The other nice thing is that it is not a color that is used all that often at least from what I have seen. Would definitely make the truck stand out in my eyes. :cool:

Like I mentioned, I like the Baby Blue but yes there really are a HUGE amount of color options. There really isn't a bad color for them. That's a good thing though. ;D

Good luck with whatever you choose. I'm sure that it will look nice when it is finished.
