What do you guys think about a Slick painted like this dent-side? The colors basically switched from where they normally go on a slick?

Re: Reverse two-tone
I also thought of doing that, so that the cab roof would be white, to keep the heat down, and so that the hood wouldnt glare me to death. Here in NM that might be a good idea.

Thats pretty sharp. OEM looking restos are a dime a dozen, nice to see something different.

Re: Reverse two-tone
Somewhere on here I found some drawing that you could color to see what it would look like. I'm sure somebody knows where.

Re: Reverse two-tone
Nice pics lined up so you can compare. I'm 90% sure I'm going with White on top & bottom and the maroon in the middle....just like 4th picture down. Have not decided what to do with the interior tho.Anthony wrote:here were my options for mine...

Re: Reverse two-tone

Re: Reverse two-tone
Looks great. Looks like you painted the interior all red?
Re: Reverse two-tone
Thanks...
The doors match the inside as well...
I am going to respray the inside since I have the winshield out.

I also like the 4th pic down, nice way to do it. Thats one of the things I like best about these trucks, they look good any way you do it and they have a nice natural break for really nice 2tones!
