Has anybody painted their steel bed floor a different color than their truck color? My 68 c10 is black and it just looks like too much black in that area.

Just leve it black. If you painted a differnt color it would look like you ran out of black paint and called it good nuff. But what do I know. Mabe it would look ok. Never seen it done. Only thing close is when you bed line it. So the inside of the box is only black. And rest is a different color.

I'll have to disagree here. A bed floor that is the same color as the rest of the truck just looks right no matter what the color. Paint the whole truck another color if it's too much black

Paint it with Bedliner in a Charcoal Gray, it will brighten up the bed area and Look awesome.
