i just bought a 78 ranger and plan on restoring it. my question is what do yall think of camo on a classic truck? would love a metalic budlight blue, but as i will be using it for hunting and things of that nature, i dont wanna put alot of money into paint. it will be a driver not a show queen.

 

i love camo man and plan on doing some kind of camo accent on my truck but unless your going for a camo wrap i wouldnt do it on a classic truck like that.. those trucks look best ford blue or black with chrome wheels and some nice mud tires. youve got a classic make it look like it

 

 

That's a great lookin truck you should get that rust taken care of and re paint it the same color

 

I d paint it signal orange, so it doesn t get shot when you re out hunting.

 

i like that color scheme but unless you have the time and money a rattle can will get it woods worthy faster. i learned this the hard way.... primers do not seal against rust. just a heads up that everybody in the world except me already knows. i just took the rust out of an old toyota and primed it, by the end of hunting season it was already in need of a sanding...

 

thats the way im leaning scraptor and acme. i would love to have the nice shiny paint, but some of the places i go it would be scratched up and looking like crap in one summer and be a waste of time and money. im wondering if anyone makes the military grade paint and primer in one like they use on tanks and such. my bumpers, grill and rims i would then do in a rattle can hunters orange. wont win any car shows but would serve me very well for my purposes of an adventure rig.
