I know you didnt ask, but I think it would look better with no shell

But if the only options you are giving me is white or orange, I vote white.

i vote no shell too

i think our trucks look alot better with an open bed,
im going to leave the shell off, im only going to put it on when we go camping

i think white would look awesome too, it would go with the roof

When you go camping, I would have white camper shell with that paint job.

yeah i guess white is the only way to go on this one

the campershell will be my test. im going to strip it/body work it/paint it before anything on my truck, so i can get my spray pattern and everything down.

oh and this camper shell is metal. VERY heavy. im thinking i can make a stand at the welding shop, that holds the CS level with the truck, right behind my tarp garage, so i can just open the back tarp door and slide the camper shell on

If you have to put a shell on it.... Not a big fan!!! But you might try white, with maybe an orange stripe down the middle or something. Something to give a little flair...

I agree! I think no shell too, but if your gonna use a shell, paint it white with a orange stripe or two.

where would the stripes look best?
because the sides are pretty much just window. not much of a strip would be there. maybe 6in. on each side.

At the very front of the shell, in front of the windows, and then along the bottom like this...

It doesn't have to be much, just something to cut the white up a little....

if you mix orange and white together you might come up with a pale orange pink color.
