I like it. You don't see too many LUVs in a 2 or 3 tone. It looks good. I like your wheels too.

dude you almost have my color scheme down except im going with just black and silver. very nice jobe though, you said you did this in your driveway. please give details to what you did as far as over spray and keeping the insets and bugs out. and what psi did you have your gun being that you was outside?

Nothing you can do for bugs but hope they don’t land on it for about an hour or so. when I paint I wet the ground down to keep dust down wet sand with 400 grit sand paper to scuff the surface then wash down with damp cloth then use a tac rag when dry mask off with paper or plastic then tack rag one more time then start spraying at about 50/60psi on a conventional air compress or 8/10 psi on a HVLP
(High pressure low volume) compressor
and again for over spray keep ground wet then when done move truck and hose off the driveway or you will need thinner and a brush to get the paint off the driveway

I've never seen a 2-tone LUV that looked any good but your multi-tone paint job looks fantastic! I think the secret is the way you ran the red color up on the cab pillar. Throw some red/silver paint on the bed somehow and you got it.

I was going to do the red silver and gold on the bed, even had it laid out to do but had people say leave it this way, they said the way the red and gold curve up it finishes the truck off and that anything on the bed would look off or not balanced. played with designs on the computer and i think they where right so even though i was going to i think it will stay black for now

You could (not that you would) change beds for whatever reason, and would not mess up the paint scheme.
