I'm getting ready to order a Brothers deluxe oak bed kit for my '70 C10 stepside longbed, which requires staining and sealing. I'm not terribly color coordinated, and I'm looking for ideas on what color stain would go nicely with the medium bronze paint color.
Should I go with something that's closer to matching the paint, or something more contrasty? I know colors and such are all a matter of opinion, but as I say, I don't have an eye for color. I know what I like and don't like when I see it, but I can't put two colors up in my mind's eye and say "yeah, that'll look good!".
If you've got medium bronze paint or something close, pictures would be welcome.
(Hopefully I'll have this thing on the road by the end of January. She (and she needs a name) is about 3 days away from running again, and I need to put in the bed kit, install the rear wiring harness, whatever exhaust I go with after the headers, and new tires).
