Black is the only one that is neutral enough to complement most colours. Coming short of spending NASA budgets on colour changing paint, I would go black or match it to the colour you do the car. You could always paint it white and watch it change to black as it gets dirty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which would match a silver car lovely If you're going to the expense of painting the whole car, stretching that little bit more to do the bay just makes sense to me:shrug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
