Default I want honest opinons...

I was playing around with photoshop today and decided to try out different colors on my truck. My favorite is this one... a high gloss hemi orange. It's not a picture of the entire truck cause I didn't have one with a good enough backdrop or lighting, but it'll give you an idea (the picture is a close-up of the window tints I did this past week). I'm hoping to re-skin all the banged up body parts and re-paint my entire truck later this summer after the second summer session classes are out...

I think it doesn't look as good as my trucks' red.
J/K. Looks good. Definitely different.

It is different. It's not to bad. But I'm not a big fan of colors that say look at me! Those colors are for mustangs owners who have no self confidence and need the car to pick up girls instead of them selfs. I personally love the dark blue you have. I say keep it the same!

Thanks guys, I think I agree with ya'll. It would look good on a show truck, but it's probably a little too much for a daily driver.

btw Crazy, my truck is actually emerald green... I know it looks blue in most of my pictures, but the green its a lot more obvious in the direct sunlight.

Lol, why are you gonna laugh at me calling my truck "emerald green?" The factory dodge paint code on my truck is PGF, which is emerald green... look it up, thats what dodge calls it :P The only reason I know that is cause I painted it all over last summer.

No im jus laughing cuz you were like well its actually emerald green crazy, haha and it just made me laugh. Dunno why. But ya i remeber you just painted it as well so although that orange looks sweet and wouldnt be to common on our truck you paint is still new and shinny . Also i dont think its only for a show truck, i think if you want your daily driver a flashy kick AS* Color why not. As for guys who paint there mustangs to pick up chicks thats a diff story crazy, lol. But i do agree w/ you on that
