The S10 might wait a few years before it gets bad enough, or I can fun with it now.
Try reversing the design from your sketches; i.e., put the zebra stripes around the wheel arches and along the lower part of the truck. After all, that is where your rust is gonna occur. The top of the truck looks pretty good paintwise.

You may want to do the rust repair, POR15 it, put on the plastic/rubber flares, and take it to a place that does bedliner coatings. Have them tape it off and just do the bottom third of the truck and around the wheel wells. I ddid a motorcycle tank and fenders in bed coating and it looked real trick ala "Road Warrior."

Just some thoughts.
