paint ideas.
i just shaved my fire wall and in the prosses of installing bags, so i will be building some custom fenders out of round trailker fenders.
the fire wall is getting painted the same gloss orange as the reast of the truck. i am still trying to decide if i want to paint the fenders and core support gloss orange, satin black or satin orange to offset the fire wall. what do you all think??

Re: paint ideas.
Should be exactly the same as the firewall. You don't want too many different colors or textures under the hood.

Re: paint ideas.
Nice job on the firewall!
I know how hard that can be. I'd have to stick with satin black on the inner fenders and core support. never did like the monochromatic look, but then what do I know? |

Re: paint ideas.
With a smooth glossy firewall I vote glossy orange to match.

Re: paint ideas.
I would at least paint the core support satin black. I have never liked lookiing through the grill and see body color I think black sets off the grill better.
Just my thoughts |
