Truck Paint Ideas

Having an awesome paint job on your truck is easier than you think.  There are so many different choices in colors and styles from which to choose.  Some like to have their truck just a solid color but others enjoy having a unique design.  You can express your personality with the paint method you choose.

• Paint your truck in one solid color.  Choose a color that expresses who you are.  If you are bold and outgoing, choose a bright red or yellow color.  If you are shy and timid than choose a soft, safe color like dark blue or white.  There are many, many colors to choose from; you are sure to find the color you love.


• Add just a little.  You could paint your truck a solid color and then add a stripe along the sides or top of the truck.  Black stripes can go with just about any paint color.  Paint the underbelly a color that compliments the color of the body.


• Choose two different colors that go together.  You could try painting the top half or two-thirds one color and the rest of the truck a different color.  One idea is to paint the top a white and then the bottom silver with a black stripe in between the two colors.


• Fade the colors on your truck.  Choose a color that you like and then pick a lighter or darker version of that color.  Paint the front of your truck one color and the back the other.  Be sure the colors blend in the middle.  You can make the truck darker in the front and lighter in the back or the other way.  Another option is to blend from the top to the bottom of the truck.  If you use white on top and a different color on the bottom, it can look as if the color is melting off your truck.


• Go a little bolder by adding flames.  Flames can be as load or quiet as you choose.  Adding flames to a bold color paint job is a load statement, as adding silver flames to a white truck is a quieter impact.  There are many options and colors.  A professional more subdued look would be to only outline flames in a darker color than the truck body color.


• Airbrush pictures onto your truck.  Pictures of anything from cartoons, horses, devils, women, roses or anything else you would like can be painted on the hood, tailgate or doors of your truck.
