Red face "Two-Tone" paint VS. "Solid Color"

Well here's asking for trouble ! LOL...
So, who has a Lariat or a "Two-Tone" truck
FordMan seems to have a "Problem" with us 2 Tone Truck Owners, but he's yet to "explain himself"... I personally "Like" my two tone. How about the rest of you ?
Not starting anything w/ya Mr. FordMan, just am curious on peoples thoughts.

I like the two tone look. I even contemplated a Black on Gold for my Roush Project.

Mine is Blue / white, blue top and bottom and white in the middle. At first I didn't think I would like it but it grew on me. Now I wouldn't change.

PS. I just got my first set of white letter tires. They are a good addition.

I have the 2 tone see sig.
I "took" the 2 tone because the truck had everything I wanted otherwise.
It cost me an extra $200.00 or so, but it was either that or wait 4-6 wks for an ordered truck.
The 2 tone does look good but I would have not paid $200.00 for it if I custom ordered my truck.
At the time I bought my F150 I did not know about this site and how economical custom ordering a truck could be.
Before this site I was always under the impresion that dealers charged more for custom ordered stuff.
Think about it: Most of the time when you custom order something it costs much more than something bought from stock.

I like the looks of the two tone, and if I was gonna get two tone it would be red over black.

But, Elvis had an involuntary tremor in his left leg, wore a scarf around his neck and sweated profusely.

In his defense I will say at least he took the time to learn karate. I guess he knew the Beetles had him outnumbered four to one.

Yup, Two-tone rules. Bright Red over Silver...or over dirt if I've been off-roading lately... or over the neighbor's dang cat if I catch it nappin' on my hood again! Oops, sorry to all you cat-lovers out there. Dogs rule too.

Bright red over gold, wouldn't have had it any other way.

BTW Raoul, us drummers take offense to that ... I think.

It was in reference to Ringo being a pacifist.
In a Rolling Stone interview years ago Ringo stated that he would not be any party to the Fab Four kicking the King's butt.

(Elvis started the karate thing soon after that article came out.)
