Re: Whats A Good Color?
I have had black white and now red. Red is too noticeable. I don't think I have ever met a cop that didn't turn his head.

Re: Whats A Good Color?
This is the original blue on my truck. The dash paint is from the factory.

Re: Whats A Good Color?
Color is a personal choice.I don't care for yellow's myself but I like all others.If you are planning on keeping the truck long term or selling it a stock color is always a safe choice.I think the key to a good color is to find one you like.The real deal is paint prep and app.If the paint is done well then any color will work.

Re: Whats A Good Color?
'92 Buick Roadmaster very dark metallic blue. Not sure of the color name/number. Looks almost stock for the truck, but very subtle metallic flecks.
