Default Color Matching... Input Please

Guys, I'm slowly painting up some of the plastic. Will have door handles matched this week..

Anyway want to color the front bumper cap. Which color? The upper or the lower color for the bumper cap?

Input appreciated.

Well with the way that the lower color goes on your fender flares I think thast you should go with the silver color. I think that would keep the overall aperance of the truck.

Are you going to do it yourself? I found the door handles of a Suburban work great.

I'm doing it all myself. 1> Want to learn how and so far they are turning out great... 2> For whatever reason you can't get handles and such from GM in this color.

The upper was my first thought but after looking a bit I am leaning toward the lower just like you say.

I would say do the bumper cap in the maroon color and paint the plastic around the fog lights the pewter color. If you aren't planning on painting the valance w/ the fog lights in it, then you should just go ahead and paint the bumper cap that pewter color. It follows the lines of the truck better if it was the pewter color
