I'm debating on whether to paint my inner fenders orange or black. I can't make up my mind. Whats your opinion

Longhorn Man · 12-29-2005, 10:10 PM

Black.
That would be way overkill on the bright orange IMO

**N2TRUX** · 12-29-2005, 10:12 PM

Paint em orange. If you start mix-n-match with all the orange and black it's going to look like it's decorated for Halloween...

68 short step · 12-29-2005, 10:18 PM

orange

qksilver · 12-29-2005, 10:19 PM

pebbleboy · 12-29-2005, 10:40 PM

Orange

67Fleet · 12-29-2005, 10:45 PM

I say go all out and buy chrome inner fenders. Then sell me your OE's.

mudpuppie · 12-29-2005, 10:53 PM

i would go black , but its not mine .
when you cleaned your firewall , did you removed or did you moved the heater core , do you still have heat . looks good

**special-K** · 12-29-2005, 10:53 PM

Smooth orange like the rest.Nothing stock under that hood.

Orence1 · 12-29-2005, 10:59 PM

Orange

409biscayne · 12-29-2005, 11:10 PM

Black.

yank · 12-29-2005, 11:11 PM

7 for orange
5 for black

nwmod the headers are dynomax's #86118

67fleet you don't want my oe inner fenders...unl;ess you like rust

mud I will be putting a vintage air unit in it someday.

Green Machine · 12-29-2005, 11:16 PM

I personally would go black to help balance out all that orange. Sorry for the all the dust in this picture it is the only one i have right at the moment.

ggtsvnv · 12-29-2005, 11:24 PM

Ok I have a question. Are you going to do any pin stripes on the body? Or offset color on the cab? Black/white or any?

I would not do back because of the Halloween factor, but if you did a white cab or pin stripes matching white inner fenders would look hot. My thought is if you did an offset color on the body the matching inner fenders would look great.

Mudder · 12-29-2005, 11:32 PM

Mine are black now and they are off getting ready for red paint. Don't listen to these guys,

(They are just gonna confuse ya). Close your eyes and imagine what its going to look like. I'm changing everything to red except for the brake booster, master and heater box. I have a black frame and axles. I have to do something with my black radiator. (Aluminum?)

Beings your support and hood hinges are black the fender wells would look alright. It's really just a matter of your taste.

Fastfun · 12-29-2005, 11:46 PM

Go black and paint your radiator support orange.

kelsfine69 · 12-29-2005, 11:51 PM

I went with The body color. Black is to boring. Chrome is too high maintenance( Hey I had a girlfriend like that once)

. And if you do some striping then it could flow onto the wells. Look pretty sweet. M2C

I was going to suggest that too but it would have to fit with the rest of the truck

shifty · 12-30-2005, 12:46 AM

IMHO inner fenders should always match the firewall color or else it looks funny.

muddpile · 12-30-2005, 01:05 AM

Orange firewall = Orange Inner Fenders.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 12-30-2005, 01:19 AM

Orange Fo Sure...
