Post by Tinman »

I've a heavy wrecker in primer. Which color combo do you guys like the best, please post & let me know.

Combo 1

Combo 2

Combo 3

Combo 4

My personal favorite is Combo 4. By the way, I got much better at making the BP decals since some of these were made (some pictured here are at least 10 years old).
It might be time to start my "Bucket List."

I think technically combo 1 and 3 are the prefered applications of the Two colours shown for 'BP' usage, which of course takes us back to the original #13 Dodge Wreck Truck colour combo change.

Wrecker Trucks should always be in bright colours for easier identification when in service or if a corporate finish is used and the finish does not include bright colouring, the drivers of such Trucks had to at all times keep them clean. I speak as a past Wrecker Truck driver for 7+ Years.

For a wrecker 1/3 hits the spot with me. Out of curiosity I wonder what it would look like similar to the K12, all green and a yellow boom? I don't know about wreckers but I used to like the old tankers with green cabs and red tanks but that's nothing to do with this thread so I'll shut up :)

#1 is the more happy one the brightest one. The one that looks the most "toy" to me.
