Best advice I ever heard on color: Have a woman pick it.
Without such input, everything I have that doesn't move would be white, everything that moves would be black. Betcha Henry ran in the same groove.

Women have a good eye for color, Bruce! After painting my "modern" truck black, I ran 2 thin stripes the length of the side. Pat suggested 2 colors of LILAC, it looked REALLY great!
On Vermin, the stripes are MUCH too wide! I'll have my striper run a body color in the center of it to make it 2 skinny stripes. Easier than removing it & going with one skinny stripe. I'll also run a skinny, body color stripe on my straw wheels to help "tie" in the wheels to the body color. Bill W.
