It's like eyeliner. Leave it black. Silver makes it look dull and boring IMHO.

I just painted mine black, after watching other truck pics here on the board it just seems to look a little better that way IMHO. Sure hate to see you selling that truck Dion. You're gonna have to promise us that the short bed project will eventually be even sweeter!

It won't sell, I want too much. There are two Super shortys I'm looking at, one is restored with lots of good options and the other is nice but needs work.
