Re: light blue or black?

I like the light blue look myself. But white would also look good.

Re: light blue or black?

I love black steelies!
But on that truck, light blue or white would look a LOT better.

If you're going to find hubcaps for it, then paint them light blue and the 'caps white.

Re: light blue or black?

Whatever color YOU think is best is what you should do. Asking others opinions may leave you worse off then before. lol I mean you'll always get different answers.

Re: light blue or black?

I'd go blue with, white caps. I like black on the single color bodies but a white roof kinda lends itself to body color wheels in my opinion.

Re: light blue or black?
