Friend's '51 F-3 flatbed was originally Vermillion, including the grille. He just got finished getting it repainted - I tried to talk him into painting it cream or argent silver to break up all the red on the truck: he didn't take my advice. Monotone actually didn't look bad when finished. Then again, against my advice he also painted his firewall black instead of body color. Ugh...
