Default Paint???

I have an maroon 01 Sierra and I need some advice on some colors that will look good on top of the maroon. I was thinking about painting the top of the truck (starting at the hood and going down a few inches onto the fenders and all the way back to the bed) I want to paint the roof and everthing. If any body has the Oct issue of Sport Truck there is a good example of what I'm talking about on Page 110. I know it's a ford but thats about right. The only difference would be that I am putting the denali front end so I 'm not painting the grill. I just kind of want some good colors that will look good on the maroon. If anybody has some pics that would be great. THANKS!!!

I think a silver or pewter color would look good.

I say silver. You said black, I think that will be too dark of a combination. I wouldnt go with a metallic color on top if the maroon isnt matallic as well. just my 2 cents
