    I was wondering if anyone can suggest anything on paint combination , solid color , striping etc .
    I am leaning to solid color ( most likely blue metallic , other option macadamia brown ) . I dont see that many options or pics of aerodynamic trucks like you see w900 or 379/389 .
    Just looking for ideas , dont want to look like a clown but at the same time would like to be able to sell the truck when times comes . Plan to paint it sometime in fall

    For you Pav I think this pink looks good pulling that black conestoga around.

    I’m a big fan of single color trucks, nothing fancy, but i hate body damage/peeling clear coat.

    we use Ford colors sometimes on repaints, cheaper the. Factory colors, my next one is going to be ford “true blue” I think

    Here’s a 680 I saw last summer with some real simple stripes that set the truck off well.

    And I drove for this guy for about 9 years. A variation on a classic KW stripe with a stripe added to the bottom and making the lines of the stripe match the lines of the hood.

    Blues always seem to resale better than any other color in the o/o world for some reason.

    Ask yourself. If you owned a company with a small fleet what would be the company colors that would represent you. What would make the public even if they ignore trucks most of the time stand and take notice and say that is a really beautiful truck and nice company.
    Even though they have become less desirable to drive for I have always admired Warner when they had the two tune blues in the classic stripe scheme. That was a classy look.
     
    650cat425 and Brettj3876 Thank this.
