Re: until i can afford a paint job...which looks better

When I suggested gray, this is more what I had in mind. This is probably what I would do, with the roof painted to match, with the trim underneath the back window. But that is just me. I think the black looks pretty good too.

Gray to match the wheels looks sick.

How about a black to gun metal fade? If not, the black looks good.
