NEED OPINIONS!! ?Color for Black out?

[wonderboy9]

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alright guys and gals, I am nearing the finish of my build and it is about time to go to the Paint booth. I am blacking everything out. Most things are ready. I just got my stacks back from the ceramic coating done in black, black weathergaurd toolbox, black Rockstar wheels, black spray in bedliner and rockers getting done after paint. Smoked taillights, headlight, and cab lights. Tinted windows

Now the question is what color to paint it? My first choice was ford grey. Now a charcoal is growing on me too. Even thought a navy blue or forest green, but don't think they will look as good as black or white based color.

So lets here some opinions or pictures if anyone is a photoshop expert. Thanks in advance.

Flat black, it looks sick.

Im a big fan of the burnt orange......don't know the technical color name.

I agree...maybe not flat black even though it does look awesome..I think it would fade a little over time. I am not a painter though and don't know what it takes to make flat look good.

I agree on the flat black. I am a big fan, all my demolition derby cars leave the shed flat black. It looks mean! The only thing with it is, my wheels, box, and such are a "flat" black. Charcoal could be sweet gloss of a flat black too? Might clash or have no contrast??? Where is a women's advice on colors when you need it.

Burnt Orange is pretty cool. Orange and black go together pretty well also. Although I don't know if I want to be that bright.

I seen that when I posted that. I need to be a photoshop wizard I guess. Maybe you can't go wrong with any color blacked out. This kind of sucks. Paint isn't cheap.

Flat black would look good. I gotta put this out there. How about yellow??? Its my favorite color and black and yellow looks pretty tough too

I am from around the belleville area. It is a hard decision, and yes paint is 'spensive.
