Re: Frame black, or color matched?

I'm kinda diggin the silver/gun metal/Eastwood "as-cast" finish. That or a flat or semi gloss black. I always thought body-colored frames only looked good on something where the frame has lots of exposure or bodylines like a '32.

Re: Frame black, or color matched?

Show truck could get by with colored frame.For a driver or on a truck that gets driven,even if it's only to cruises BLACK.Also keep in mind what you may change later.If you should decide to go to a different body color,that candy red is not going to look very good with a Lime green body.This means tearing down the whole truck.Even if it's going to be a show stopper you may not be able to match the paint if it's a custom mix.JM2CW's

Re: Frame black, or color matched?

For a driver, I would do black. You can do quick touch ups and it will blend better than a BC/CC paint will. You can get the black in a rattle can for quick touch ups.
