Posting a bigger picture of the car might help people visualize possible combinations better (it’s kind of hard for me with just the picture in your avatar).

For what it’s worth to me darker or flat colors tend to draw my eye more to the shiny or brighter parts of the car which on the on something like your pickup would be the engine (or possibly interior).

Brighter colors seem to visually “tone down” the contrast of the chrome against the body and draw my eye more to the body itself.

As mentioned at the end of the day what really matters is if the truck brings a smile to your face.

So....... I'm blockin'out the frame trying to get excited about
blue...It's not happening!
I want the kind of truck that when it rolls in to the lot you
want to say: Oh Shit, look at this coming!!!!
So....... It's got to go bright RED!

One of the nicest reds for that is Porsche Guards Red. I've painted a few of my cars that color and it really stands out and gets compliments.

I'm actually kicking around either doing my 37 in that color of doing it a bright yellow with red flames.

You want bright!!!! This is mine at a show a couple weeks ago - late Shelby/GT Mustang Venetian Orange. It will get some pinstripes soon to set it off even more
