It's like eyeliner. Leave it black. Silver makes it look dull and boring IMHO.

barn9 · 05-23-2002, 12:46 PM

I just painted mine black, after watching other truck pics here on the board it just seems to look a little better that way IMHO. Sure hate to see you selling that truck Dion. You're gonna have to promise us that the short bed project will eventually be even sweeter!
