I cant decide on whether i want to paint the whole truck the same color as the fender, i plan on either doing the bottom or just part of the fenders in flat black. Do you guys think it would turn out good?

well originally i was going to paint the whole truck flat dessert beige like the fender. Then either paint simulated fender flares with flat black or the bottom portion flat black, similar to this truck. (let me find the pic)

Here's a shoddy job... I thought it would look cool like this... and also paint the grill and everything up front flat black! (not the lights )

Do the whole thing in Beige, then Line-X the rocker panels! IMO, the "simulated flares" look ghetto. If you're putting that much hard work into paining it, don't simulate flares.
