Guys see the progress - getting the beasts painted and it’s looking amazing already -

Help me out with a colour scheme -
It used to be red and then became blue and I am thinking of half red at bottom and half white at top - Like in the photo -

Let me know as confused -

My personal preference is always for solid colours but respecting your wish for two-tone I would suggest a modern retro look that should appeal to everyone , and because i can't find an image on google that remotely resembles the picture in my head I'm going to post up the image below suggesting the woodgrain vinyl should be grey/silver/black without a border .

The above pictured truck should have used this vinyl stripe for a subtle nod to its classic status

Yes I did think of a similar scheme but then changed my mind when I came across the 50/50 scheme when doing research.
I even considered this option but with white and red but open to all colour -

We all have different tastes so nobody can really advise you i'm just sharing what appeals to me which is rustoleum gunmetal paint with a 3m ebony woodgrain decal .

They sell blue or red woodgrain as well so just an idea you might like to play with .
 
Decided on all red now after seeing this hideous thing.

All red a good call i think mate. Keeps it original too.

this one of mine will eventually go back to original grey. I dokinda like it as is tho.
 
In my view the graphics come across as attention to detail and personally i'd make use of that to add my own individual stamp to the truck , it is after all only a sticker that can easily be removed .
 
Above is how Jan got our 80 painted (all paint, not decals) - figure that would work on a 60 series, or something similar....
