I'd stick with the green / orange (and variants) and black (and variants).... as I think those already are looking really good together on your truck.-G

What he said ^^^^^^^^^^^^

That's what I would do BUT it is your rig, time, energy and money. So in the long run do what you like.
I will still be enamored with the results because I have followed along and have a huge amount of respect for what you have and are doing:bow:.
 
I'm leaning towards orange replacing the yellow. I think that would look really cool. That rim does look good and the truck looks awesome no matter what:waytogo:.
 
Dear lord just paint em some color and put em on already!!!! Lol your killin us!!!
 
I hadn't looked at a recent photo of your truck in a while....

The orange mottled color of the cage is a natural color complement to the green, and honestly it might be easier to simply pull down the lighter of those two oranges into the wheel instead of introducing the yellow down there. :thinking:

You've also got a couple of nice greys in the seat cushion / plastic trim area that you could repeat underneath in the frame area and suspension parts.

Generally, a color design is best when it's limited to around 3 colors max.... otherwise it tends to lose cohesiveness. I'd stick with the green / orange (and variants) and black (and variants).... as I think those already are looking really good together on your truck.

Its pretty much the same as it was in Moab, except the wheels....

The cage is Hemi Orange with some School bus yellow highlighted in randomly...the Hemi orange was very thin on coverage, like 5 coats to get good coverage was needed...sucks painting that much with a rattle can, in hard to cover areas, but that would look good to as the background color of the wheels.... I really need some "windows paintshop" experience to try instead of trying combos on the parts...
Seeing that more and more on the truck, I think the orange would look better too!
maybe I'll just keep the CAT yellow under the truck.

Me too, just maybe not for this truck color now:dunno:

Thanks Tony...I'm getting swayed that way too now.... ya know I don't want to be "that guy" at the trail that everybody laughs at about his truck:eek1:

I don't think you'll ever be "that guy" at the trail no matter what you do with them wheels. Unless it was "holy sh*t did you see what 'that guy' just did with that truck":woot: Unlike mine it's only built for malls and pretty truck trails.
 
I've stayed out of the fray since it seemed you had enough opinions and suggestions already.

I do like the black and yellow and the yellow matches the pot plant leaf looking thing on your fender nicely.:pimp:

Yeah I was wondering what the F that was, it looks like a banana peel, doesn't make any sense. What is it Dave?
 
I'm liking the idea of making the yellow areas match the cage:waytogo: The black looks awesome with the green though so I'd leave that part.
 
Heath..exactly as Adam says...the body came back actually worse than it was when it went to the body shop...can you believe that?

They ground in a bunch of spots to see how bad the mud was...I only wanted them to smooth out the area around the rear wheel well were I stretched the opening...

And the name of the body shop was Quality auto body....mmmhmmm.:rolleyes:

Anyhow, after letting this sink in more, seeing it on the truck, and trying the orange...I think with all your opinions we'll go with the cage colors on the wheels as well....the school bus yellow highlights the rockring openings like I want, and the orange/yellow centers tie it together.

That is the same paintjob on both pics....don't know why the bottom turned out so different....but the top is the correct colors...

I think after spending the last two days reading the entire build thread over. I can comfortably say the wheels need to be orange center with rapc green outers.
