what color should i paint my 84? pics needed

Me and my dad bout got the body work done on my 84 but i still have no clue how i want to paint mine. Im open to any suggestions all i really know is that i want a truck that stands out from the rest without painting it pink. I was thinkin about a two tone. Burnt orange and dark grey or any number of others ive thought about lol

Dang dude that's pretty intense when I get all the mechanical stuff done and I paint last I'm going with the scion color cement, I recently saw a FJ the same color so they must have added it to the color options being scion and toyota are the same I believe.

But yea your truck looks pretty fricken intense nothingbetter, good job and I love the two tone

I'm a bodyman so I did all work myself, so yes I rememeber. We use sikkens autowave mm at our shop. The silver is a suzuki colour "32m" is the code, and the orange is a Honda element colour, I believe the code is "9482" All the info is in my build up thread.

Green truck with orange bumpers, nerfs, and roll bar might be pretty cool
