I might be doing this:



Not colorful but still something cool. Maybe a cool darker shade of green or gray would look nice for yours. Actually now that I think about it, a battleship gray or gunmetal gray would be pretty sweet.

Black blends in with all the other crud that will accumulate and makes it look clean. And every thread needs pictures!

Why? You're only religious when you're upside down?

I think this is silly. There's nothing beautiful about your suspension system let's be honest, no need to draw attention to it. My vote is flat black.

Well the inverted cross has nothing to do with Satan and I think it's funny how people think Zit does.

So you're putting an upside down cross on there so people will ask questions or does it actually mean something?

I did a rust inhibitor black enamel paint. I wanted to do gunmetal pearl (to match the body) but I wouldve had to special order a can. Black always looks good IMO.
