Default What do you guys think of this?

So I'm going to have my obs f150 painted next summer and I was wondering what you guys thought of this paint scheme for it.
Fx4 appearance package with hockey stripe painted on no decal?

And I have decided on getting 20" chrome ballistic hyjak rims with 295/25-20 tires with a 2" leveling kit.

And this is my truck.

Do you have a better picture of the rims that are on your truck as of this moment?

Here you go they are a little dirty right now and need to be polished.
They are 15's with 31's wrapped around them.

That paint setup on the truck I wouldn't go with anything that shiny.
I'd find a nice set of gunmetal colored rims for it. Cause chrome is too shiny and black is too dark for that shade mix of red shades.

I do like that paint job on the current ones....but if I'm going to be honest, i wouldn't do it to your truck.

aside from looks, if it were me, i'd also keep that truck original, at that age.

but try it out if you like it, its only paint, you can paint it over again if it turns out no good . you are the one who has to make the decision. it's your truck .

I'm thinking I will just paint it that dark red and then maybe have the decal made so if I don't like it I can remove it. But either way the white has to go because I'm pretty sure it didn't come from the factory painted like that.

Very nice Centurion F150. I don't think that paint scheme is all that appealing, but if it works for you, go for it.

So if I paint it that dark red should I put clear or smoked headlights?
