I'm doing my truck a tangerine pearl and I've been thinking of what color to do the bumpers, grille, mirrors and rims. The choices are Chrome, Black Chrome, Matte Black and Matte Chrome (Brushed). The rims are going to be 20x12 Hostage deeps and it's my '70 K10.

What do you guys think?

i'd personally color match it all. if not, i'd match the wheels (are they black or chrome?)

Haven't bought the wheels yet, waiting to decide on color. I don't think color matching the rims is my taste.

no, i meant color match the bumpers/mirrors/etc to the body paint.... definitely NOT paint the wheels orange, lol.

i asked what color wheels because i was going to recommend matching your bumper, mirrors, etc to whatever color wheels you go with, to tie everything together (if you didnt like the orange color-matched bumpers/mirros/etc).

I see. I want the accents to be the same color as the rims. So whatever color I chose it's going to be the bumpers, mirrors, grill and rims all the same color.

Edit- Just to give everyone a mental picture here's my truck as it sits now:

After seeing this truck I'm dedicated to making it's cousin. :p This is on 20x12 Weld Cheyenne's, I would love to get a set but they don't make them anymore and good luck finding someone wanting to sell them. So I'm going with 20x12 Fuel Hostage's.

IDK, just not my style I guess. Now put some nice M/T Classic Locks with some 35x14.50 Boggers on it and I'd love it :D

I can't wait to see it either. :D I'm trying to get a hold of a local guy with a '72 A/C cab that's rust free but he wont answer the phone. :ermm:
