Re: what color paint
I personally think the best option is glossy engine and flat exterior. Would look great on a 4X4 set up such as yours! Just my 2 cents.

Re: what color paint
Why not silver, Pete?
LOL Sorry, I couldn't help myself. Seriously though, I agree with BB73, go gray.

Re: what color paint
Don't use flat on anything. It will stain easily and won't clean well. I suggest satin black instead.

Re: what color paint
I agree with N2, no flat. I painted my last engine flat black and you could see the oil stains and whatever else gets on there. Gloss will clean up better and wont show the stains from oil grease.
