I am trying to decide what color to pain the body of my truck and I am stuck.

All my accessories ( Engine, Front and Rear Calipers, Cab Floor, High Steer Arms, etc ) Are all being painted Grabber Green ( Bright Lime Green ) My Diffs are being done black with the inside being done ??? Body Color ??? ( I am running Clear diff covers )

So now I need Help making up my mind. It's a toss up between Metalcast Blue, and A bright Orange ( not quite safety orange but close. )

What do You All Think?????

I think the orange would look better with the green. It would stand out in a crowd, as if a LUV doesn't stand out in a crowd already.

Okay So I picked Up a Can of Metalcast ( anodized look ) Orange today so you can get a better persepective as to what I am lookin at.

Here it is next to the Grabber Green, I think I really like this combo.

I will probably do the Bezels in Black to offset everything but I have not deceided on that yet.

That is going to look really good. Reminds me of the Miami Hurricanes. Stick with the orange and green.

BTW, what type of headlights are those?

I picked them up at work, ( Advance Auto Parts ) They are made by American Products Company ( APC ) They take H4 Bulbs, so I am running 4 of them, That means 4 low beams and 4 High all at the same time.
