I changed my vote....GLITTER!

White. If you've got all the grill trim white I would do all the bumpers white as well.

Who sells these decals? I think that's the way I'll go. And I'm leaning towards black still. Interesting this has had more replies than my build thread in the 4x4 section.

i would do white, but everyone else has white, do what YOU want!!

Here's an idea of what the black and or white would look like... Not the best Photoshop I've ever done... :-/ and I didn't have time to do two separate ones...

71sierragrande · 05-01-2011, 09:07 AM

Id go same as body color....

**Stocker** · 05-01-2011, 09:55 AM

Black looks better than I had expected... but since the grill trim and headlight buckets will be white, I'd still go with white.

My vote would be for white, although black looks pretty good too. I used the decals on mine, IIRC I got them from LMC. They were easy to put on, lot better the taping them up and spraying or painting them by hand.

Thanks all. After seeing the photoshop, I'm going white, and will find the decals. Seeing the white on red gave me flashbacks to Old Red, my first truck.

**special-K** · 05-02-2011, 09:45 AM

Red

Ackattack · 05-02-2011, 11:13 PM

I like your style! I'm doing No Buck in rattle can red (from Lowes

)

Anyway, I painted the grill an off white, and plan on doing the rear letters the same off white.
