silver and neon green

I am thinking about two toning my truck. It is silver right now but i was thinking about putting a neon green strip of paint on the bottom. What you guys think??

IMO.. 'neon' anything is bad... if anything do it in vinyl so you can remove it when you HATE it.

It's a hard combo to pull off. I painted my chassis ford blue yesterday, it looked good for 2 minutes... I spent my morning today trying to cover it up (still not done). I have a feeling your not going to like it, just like what happened to me.

That color combo looks good on serious street rods or customs. I've seen it on a few ricers too.

I would say if your going to slam your truck (and I mean slam) and do a serious pro trick job on it then go for it, otherwise I would have to say "negatory negatory".

^^ Exactly. However OP, take note, it's not along the rocker panel, it's up about half way. Then there is a transition color to soften the blend. That's a lot of custom paint work.

If you've got a stiffy for neon green, then go ahead. I don't think you'll have that much support from the community, but what ever dude.

it would have to be a serious street/show truck for you to be able to pull it off like the pictures that are on here. i say...a big negative
