Still trying to pick a color for the 65. I sprayed a silver and kinda liked it. What do y'all think?

I like the silver a lot. Always have been a fan of it. What color would you go with between the bed trim?

Re: Newbie with a 65 Chevy
 
Thanks Chris. I was thinking maybe black for the bed trim and the rest of the bed silver. Or all the inside of the bed black. Not sure though. I am painting it myself and was kinda worried about using the silver. A lot of painters say silver is one of the hardest colors to spray because of the metal flake.

Or maybe red for the bed strips.
