I guess that what I am seeing, and that maybe is throwing off some people, is that the beadlock color of the first blue (because it is brighter) makes the whole thing look "computer generated". I realize that you are mocking it up on the computer, I just think that it will look probably better in reality with that blue, than the picture. I like the color of the blue, but it just looks a little like the beadlock is "floating" in the air instead of like it is part of the wheel. It's probably just me being wierd, so don't worry.
The backspacing on the wheels may be part of what is making it look like they are floating. The very first pic is the unedited original which I took yesterday. The rest are all done in Photoshop CS.

Yah, the last blue/gray looks sweet! I wanted to paint mine a blue on top w/ a dark gunmetal grey on the lower portion. But I ended up painting the whole thing blue, for now ;) . The nice thing about rattle can paint jobs is that you can touch-up & change the colors anytime you want & on the cheap. SaddleUp, your rig would look killer even if it was Barby Pink!
X2 for that blue. I think you need a lilte more of the blue. How about doing the rocker and in the back what you have left of the lower body line and down.

I like the two tone Blue with the darker gray the best so far. I wouldn't follow the insert with the blue, just looks kinda out of place on your truck. I would do the bottom with blue and call it good.

Maroon. Mine's a metallic GM 2003 Tahoe paint. It's easy to get.

I think the lighter blue with the darker grey looks awesome! I would favor two tones on these trucks, think they look great!

P.S. I've been eyeballin' the 05 mustang metallic green (almost an olive), since I saw one in Las Vegas in March.

It's called Legend Lime Metallic...Looks real good with a dark gray/flat black dual hood stripe. ;D

Lighter Blue

I like the blue-gray two tone but think a lighter shade of blue would look better with your gray. But it is yours so choose the paint you like the best and go with it.

Okay, here are another couple to look at. The first one is the same as the blue and darker grey above. The second is with the blue and grey reversed. I think I'm leaning towards going with one of these.

The one on the left....that Mustang Sonic Blue Metallic would looks sweet against the Mustang Satin Silver Metallic....We respot these colors all the time with no issues on color match.

I'll try to take a picture of these 2 colors next to each other, I'll post it later.

Rick-
The one on the right of your last post I think would look the best. If you match the contour of the center of the hood with the blue to match, that would also look good. When I get mine painted I'm thinking about going with a similar scheme.

I like the one on the left of this post. Every thing matches wheels, tires, body, hood everything. ;D

Those are the colors I was thinking about except I was leaning toward the paint scheme on the right. At least for the side anyway. I need to take another pic of the front before I start getting picky about how I do the hood. By then I might have a different hood and intake but I'm not sure yet. Here are the 2 colors next to each other.
