Lightbulb Opinions Welcome (new Paint)

Heres an idea I had and was wondering what the yotatech community thinks of my approach to a classic paint scheme. Its obviously not finished but I think you get the idea.

Thanks
yeah I hate the yellow. It will be going as soon as I get some more time and its not raining. I plan on finishing the yellow with green and doing the stripes on the hood just like the Ivan stewart scheme.

I like it; camouflage meets conformity

Ditch the yellow though

One of the coolest paint schemes I've seen in a while! I like the diamond plate rocker protection too.

My friend bought my 89 4runner and did this to it:



I liked it and so did most people, but when he sold it, the guy immediately painted it red. He did all of the paint and tube work himself. He's good. It looked like this before:

the yellow takes way from the camo scheme. It would flow much better without the yellow. Looks great!!!

Looks great, can’t wait to see the finished product. I also like the “retro” paint schemes. I especially like your twist on it with different colors.


This is my favorite original scheme. I really wanted one back when I bought my ’81, but couldn’t afford the SR5 package. (I think it was about a $1,200.00 opinion).
