Repaint two tone or solid?

Ok the wife said just to get the whole truck repainted. Would you go with the original two tone green/gold or solid green? I'm leaning towards the solid but it may look like a huge green blob

I would go with the original, it looks really good on your truck, I would keep it original.

Yep definately original. Looks good, will be down shorter, will be cheaper etc... just fix the damaged area. Or if you gonna get a new bed, paint to match.

2 tone it is. Thanks for helping me not make a mistake HAHA! I agree and think it would be too much of one color.

I too am doing the body/paint over. Mine is original solid gray with the chrome/black body molding going down the side. I am thinking solid black with the chrome accents, chrome wheels w/AT tires. i always liked the green/tan combo though...

My vote is for two tone as well. Mine is sold white right now. Eventually I would like to add the gray with red pin strip two tone side treatment to it.
