I'm going to start the process of painting everything under the truck but I'm not sure what colors I should use. My truck is forest green right now. I've painted the wheel wells and cowl back to the orginal blaxk. I'm looking to paint the calibers and springs. I'm not sure what color would look good with the green. I'm going to paint the frame , axles and just about everything else black. The intake and TB are going to be silver. I don't think that I will ever paint the block, Unless I stroke . So anyways what color would look good on the calipers and springs?

 

What about a blue? I think that would look pretty cool. Unless u are just wantin to keep everythin black silver and green...?

 

No I want the springs and suspesion to stick out so I want to use a differnt color. Blue might work. It just sucks because there arn't alot of colors that work with a green truck. I would use red but that seems to christmasy.

 

Tough choice with thegreen. How about spindles, black, calipers yellow, springs silver so it ties in to under the hood?

 

That would look pretty good.

 

Yea, I think that would look pretty cool. Thats how I will do it. Now is there a special paint that I should use for the spring? I know I need a high temp for the caliber, but I don't know if I need a flexiable paint for the springs.

 

just a heads up alot of lift kits any more are black, with saying that yellow springs or red...

 

Sounds good.

My truck is green too. I'm thinking about blue calipers, not sure though. Yellow would look good with green, as would silver or black. Gold could look good, but gold paint might look "tacky". Red would be strictly for Christmas!
I just picked up a used F/G tonneau and it's red. Looks ridiculous! Great price though, and I'd have to paint a new one to match anyway.

 

I used Duplicolor caliper paint on a bunch of myparts. M1, alt ac and pwr steering brackets &water pump in silver, timing cover in black, spindles in blue and calipers in red.
Springs would probably need to be powder coated, not sure if anything else is flexible enough to stay on.
If I leave my springs in (may bagg it) Iwill be powder coating them red. Did my first test pieces yesterday (powder coating) and when I figure out the color mix I need to match my Indy paint Ill be redoing afew parts.

 

I think it was your truck that I saw that made me want to paint everything that I could get at.
