If you want something distinctive, I say: Yellow body tub w/ peeling woodgrain, OD front fenders, blue hood, loose the top and run a 5x5 blue tarp as a bikini top :D

Actually, dark blue, no stripes.

Hey, Yellow/brown/green/blue/rust is flashy!!! :flipoff2: :flipoff2:

I've never liked Scouts in bright colors. The only exeption is red 800 Sporttops.

If you want attention getting, how bout flouresent green, like Terex uses :question: If all else fails, get a Chrysler Co. paint list from 1971. Plum Crazy Scout, anyone????

Look to your Left Fawker...
Thats Plum Crazy...
A few years ago when I was going to pick up my BLACK paint to shoot the Bronco, there was a 71 'Cuda, FAWKIN SWEET.. So I painted my Bronco Plum Crazy..
Now My Scout, NO!!!!!!!!!!:flipoff2:

Looks like a nice start, but it needs lift or are you going to restore it. :flipoff2:

You need to change you aviator to one of the Scout

Hey- I said Terex before Plum Crazy, didn't I?
Seriously, Mother had some really crazy paints back in the 70's. (Another thought would be Shannon Green paint, A la Chevrolet LuVs from the mid 70's):flipoff2: :flipoff2:

The,

Want something distictive?

I'm gettin' ready to paint my 77.

It was originally dark green with white stripes. Then it had a tub transplant. That looked funny. White tub and everything else green, so I painted everything except the top. Brown with green top!

Now my top is black with clear coat.

I'm thinkin' of white with a dark red stripe up over the corvette cowl induction hood scoop and then down both sides at an angle following the line of the hood. Oughta go good with the gray powder coated wheels, gray bumpers, tire carrier, speedliner interior, and the gray F150 captains chairs, etc.

But then again, been thinkin' 'bout new VW sublime green!

Hmmmmmm?

I think I'm going with Caterpillar Yellow.

Gonna make sure it's not too close to Randy's awesome Mitsubishi yellow first.

Okay Hooper, Let's see how good ya are.

Do mine white with a red stripe over the hood and at an angle across the door with a L-88 hood scoop and NO CHROME. Full cage. RS. 98 Dodge fender flares (yeah, big square ones- kinda like Abbas) and 36s.

Wanna see what it's gonna look like.

Gee Hoop,

I like the Bluegrey color. What can you do with a pic of my truck?
Can you make it look complete?
How about making it look like its got a motor installed? Can you paint it Camo?

I don't get it - Why sell your scout? It can't take that much space. can it?

Hey Chaddy, just chrome all the body panels! Then it'd be bling bling style and you could pick up all the chicks that thing could hold! :flipoff2:
