My luv is a bricky blood red color and I think it looks pretty sweet, specially with muddy two tones. :D

Maybe you should try a Flash Red. I used that color on my 56 Chevy Stepside. Looks almost orangeish red durring the day and bright red durring the dusk of the day.

Hey I like that ,flash red, candy apple is excellent too. Two tone red and mud? I don't know. Bricky Blood Red. All these are great colors. The only thing you have to remember is stock trucks from the factory came with waves in the sides of the bed, and they can be a litte rough in places. A finish that is shiny, no matter what color will show the smallest ding or bump, so you have to do your body work. There is an old saying about body work," If you can feel it, you will see it." Enjoy your work, take the time to get it right and you will have something unique that you can be proud of.
