Default pinstripping or ????






as you can see my truck is all white.. I want to add some color to it.. the interior is flint. I dont want anything gaudy but dont want just a regular pinstripe. Thought about using a flint colored pinstripe from front to back of bed... but have a break in it on the side of the bed and have FORD in the break in cursive letters. i am also going to get the chrome H bar grille and have the surround, bumper and piece above bumper done in white. I found a place online where i can get bumper for 256 then whatever it cost to have it painted but at least this will also give me the foglights. I want a lower valance like this, or is this a bumper with out a valance?

I don't know about pinstriping... The only pinstriping I like is on cars painted flat black with some old school pinstripping.

I would paint the top half of the truck black... with the tinted windows it will look really clean. Oh and paint the bumper white if your gonna do that.

Pinstriping like you see most commonly on hot rods...



And this is sort of what I meant for a paintjob...

Lightbulb Couple more ideas for you

Here is a scheme you could consider. While I'm not a fan of the body molding you could paint the hood that way and put a black stripe down the side.


Or you could go with the Foose look. Only reverse the colors http://www.autoblog.com/photos/ford-...foose-edition/

With both of these looks you could keep your black grille unless you just got to have it chrome.
