if!!! If you did it two tone youd have to paint the roof black also or it wouldnt look good. and since you were already planning on getting your roof repainted then it would kill 2 birds with one stone. thats the only way it would look good in my opinion even though you wont see it much

Haha we have a winner! It looks really good on your silver truck, but I am wondering how black and blue would be. I know I can photoshop it, but photoshop will never do it justice. Built54 has a BEAST truck, and I really liked the two tone on it. I was considering getting rid of the chrome grille guard and putting a black bull bar to complete the whole look, but I just dont know if I want to. I love options, but I hate decisions!

That EXACT thought was just going through my mind. I was trying to figure out what sections of the roof that I would do black. Would I go inside those (have no idea what they are called) but uhm...drains I guess. I have no clue, but you said the paint inside yours were cracking.

That would look good? Because my truck is all about black, blue ,and chrome. I cant really picture. I guess thats just something that I would have to do. What else would I want to paint silver or dark shadow grey for it to go alright? Or would all that chrome up front take away?

The only thing is that if I do the ENTIRE roof then I have to practically get the whole cab re-cleared. If I only do the section where those little crevice/drains are then there are body lines on the roof that I can stop on. If there aren't any body lines or anything then the clear will be alot thicker in some areas as opposed to others, because it has to be over-lapped. I dont know how that would work because I am trying to keep this whole thing under $800 dollars.

I forgot your truck had the chrome bumper. Stick with the black.
