Red and black is bold! Just make sure to use high-quality paint to avoid fading.

Is a two-tone paint job going to devalue the truck in the long run? Just something to think about before making the change.

That’s a valid point! But I think if done well, it could really enhance its appeal and potentially increase value among collectors.

Great tips! Has anyone tried any special techniques for blending colors? I want a smooth transition between the two tones.

You can achieve a great blend by using color sanding and buffing after painting. It truly makes a difference in the finish!

What about the difference between DIY and professional jobs? Is it really worth going the extra mile for a professional service?

I think it depends on your skill level. If you want a truly flawless finish, I’d go professional, but DIY can be fun if you’re up for it!

I’ve seen some amazing DIY jobs where folks used spray guns and got pro-like results. Just practice on a scrap surface first!
