.. like title states. Wife is getting my truck painted (after new year). Im trying to decide if leave it like it is now or just keep the bottom 2 tone instead of top and bottom 2 tone.

If i do the bottom only it will also be the truck bed liner

First pic original.
Second pic what i want turned rest of color of truck

My 98 Sierra was all White up top and Pewter down low, so I see what you’re saying.

I think top 2/3 same, lower 1/3 different.
Kinda like mine. The "conventional" two tone looks "farmerish." Not that that's necessarily a bad thing, if it is your thing.

Ignore the upper silver stripe, it's going away forever. Lol

A lighter color on the lower area of the truck, rockers and doors/fender bottoms, will visually raise the truck. Darker color will visually lower it. Something to consider.... just my 2¢.

I think it would look better on your truck to paint the top silver in the green. I don't mind the middle of the truck as the second tone but yours changes back to green on the roof and hood again and just doesn't establish a primary color. My opinion only.
