Default Want to paint my '87...

I will be painting it myself. I have the compressor and guns to do it. just want some input on different colors/ideas. Here is a pic of the tu-tone tan/brown. I will be ditching to topper... Not looking to flashy or crazy though. Anyone that can photoshop and wants to lend a hand, i would greatly appreciate it! lol Also attaching a pic of the new f-150 copper that I like, not sure how it will look on an 8th Gen...Or even blue...
Copper wouldn't be as drastic of a change from what it is.


COPPER

BLUE


Totally unrelated...Wonder how hard/involved it would be to retrofit 2010+ head lights onto and '87...

You may want to replace that door, or the shell at least first before you paint I vote for the Copper, as it would be allot easier then changing the entire truck to Blue (pillars, door jambs, inner fenders, under hood, firewall, cab walls etc.)

Keep the tan and go with black or a dark hunter green, but that's just my opinion lol

All body work will be completed before I paint. Removed all rust, going to be welding in new quarter panels on the bed (wheel arches shot). Maybe replacing the pass door if I can fix it. Front bumper needs replaced...

I like orange, but not sure how it would look with this truck.

Huntman- that's pretty cool! Doesn't look 1/2 bad either lol

I used a 2010 f-150 @ work. Every time I look at it, it makes me want to point my truck blue! Lol
