******,
Didn't Ford use this same color on a limited production Mustang a few years ago (circa 93)??
This was done well before the bright-****-loving, honda-drivin-kids were even out of grade school (I am a bit too old for this demograph)
To each his own I guess.

Speedin Bob-
Ferrari's also use a similar color. Those F-50's and 348's look really sweet in yellow.
****** - Yellow isn't just a honda thing. The honda thing would be to paint only your mirrors, windshield wiper, and ground effects yellow. That's cause painting those items yellow, lowers the overall drag of the vehicle. Yellow is very slippery!
I think the yellow L looks sweet. Would I actually buy a yellow car? Hmm not sure about that one!

Speedin,
Edit your profile and in the location box put {<marquee> San Antonio, TX} you can also change colors using {<font color="red">}without the {} just NO images webmaster no like.
Silver,
One word layers, you have to crop out the truck without the wheels and the headlights you dont have to do this but it makes for a cleaner looking image. I use edge finder on the lowest setting. Then I paste the truck shell into another window then use hue/saturation and other color tools until I get the color that I like. Then I go back to the original image and paste the altered shell and paste it over the truck so you cant see the yellow edges then save the image I chose *.jpg because it compresses the image. It seems like alot of steps but once you get good at it you can do a color change in a few minutes.

The way that truck came about is as someone said to send to dealers to see which one they liked, silver or yellow. The plant manager of OTP sent four trucks to Kennedy Ford in Toronto, and they painted them, it wasn't done at OTP. There were tow silvers and two yellows made. One of the Silvers was for a few weeks at Sharonville being used for drivetrain testing, about a year ago. One of the yellows, the one in that picture, was for a while on the display stand outside of OTP and that picture was taken in the lobby at OTP. BTW, the blue was pretty cool in my opinion.

I like the blue...Looks "electric"..i would go with a darker Ford blue or almost a navy blue..the color blue they have on the GT mustangs is also very SEXY!I wish ford would do more than 4 stinkin colors!
