Painting the roof and the tailgate or not?

Guys, I am debating if I should paint the roof and back/front posts with the lettering on the tailgate as well as the frame around the letters.
I was thinking of satin red to go along with my mate black already.
Any other suggestions on colors, or should i keep it solid as it is.
Anyone has pics of a painted roof with letters on the back please post them up and any advise or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Painting the roof and the tailgate or not?

Since you're asking for opinions
I'd leave as is (nice truck)
OR
I'd paint only the roof (and pillars and back down to the paint divider line) and the tailgate letters (only, I'd leave the perimeter band black) - and I'd go white for those changes rather than red. Classic look.
That's my 2c
Oh, and then I'd add white steelies with PO1 caps...

How about semi-gloss black? Subdued contrast. Metallic charcoal would be nice, too
