Took a pic off here to “paint” in an effort to see if I like black or white with orange two tone. You?

I'd almost dare to say both. White roof, black lower. Could look pretty slick. Realistically though if it were my truck I'd probably just leave it all orange, or go orange and white. The black is cool, but something about it is a little tacky looking. If you were just rattlecanning it maybe just for the heck of it, but an actual paintjob I think it wouldn't look as good as it does in your head.

Ya, I considered that tri colored combo too but @Grit dog said it would look like a rotten pumpkin. I actually “painted” that color combo too and didn’t like it as much as I thought I would. I’m partial to white and orange. I really wanted to put a black bedliner material along the bottom so I don’t have to worry about cleaning road tar or rock chips. That’s the main reason for considering black. I’m probably over thinking this but I guess that’s part of the reason why we are driven to this site.
