Bigdogtrucker Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 If all goes well and I get a chance to do something with my R700,was curious what you guys thought about the original paint scheme?It's Ford Reef Aqua/Wimbledon white.(roof panel was blue)I LOVE Mack green,and that would be the other option. 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34013-color-opinions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post other dog Posted December 25, 2013 Popular Post Share Posted December 25, 2013 I like it, it's a little different. But if you changed the aqua to Mack green, left the white part white, and left the frame and tanks black that would look good too. 3 Quote Producer of poorly photo-chopped pictures since 1999.

41chevy Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Like the truck. You could always do that scheme in MACK Green and White too.

Bigdogtrucker Posted December 25, 2013 Author Share Posted December 25, 2013 If I went Mack green it would be solid green or green/black.If the Ford colors I would do it as original,even the door decals!

Gmerrill0516 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 I'd go with the blue and white if it appeals to you. I like to see diversity and the blue and white is how she ran and different than the typical schemes. I plan to paint mine orange despite the red now. It was orange from the factory as best I can tell. There are tons of red ones already so I'm trying to be as unique as I can and I like the orange. That's my $0.02.Google has tons of pictures so search and hit the images button...It's good for ideas and can help you get an idea of what you like.Great looking Mack. Enjoy it.Greg 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34013-color-opinions/#findComment-223077 Share on other sites More sharing options...
rsb502 Posted December 25, 2013 Share Posted December 25, 2013 Id go for the original, far too may trucks losing the old school look in favor of plain one color paint or some crazy over the top paint job. I too think the Mack green/white with black frame would look nice but I think whats there now looks better just because its different, nobody else at any truck show will have the same paint as your truck, that's what I like about mine its one of a kind(at least so far). 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34013-color-opinions/#findComment-223079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

farmer52 Posted December 26, 2013 Share Posted December 26, 2013 Either color, green or aqua with white would look good. Just keep the paint scheme. If aqua is the original color, it would be nice to keep it original. But at the end of the day, it is your truck so do what you like best.

Green Dash Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Keeping that same paint scheme but using Mack green instead of Ford blue would be another option.
