If I had to do it all over again, I would have pulled my engine before painting, and shot the whole thing Orange, with tons of clear!!!!!!

I think it depends on how you drive your truck, if it's often go black if it's show go body color. I'm tryin' to decide too, the trucks black but I'm leanin' towards Hugger Orange. So I think black would look ok under the hood and firewall since its a driver. And do the inside orange. My .02

Definately body color on firewall, black inner fenders, and black core support!
