Need opinions, black or silver?

[Farmacist 10+ year member]

Ok I'm about to paint my leaf springs, and I'm torn right now by what color to choose, black or silver .. The leafs are apart so each layer is getting painted individually..

My frame is getting painted as well, semi gloss black, so should i go with the contrast of silver, or just black to match?

I'd do black if it was mine.

Black. Why would you want to make your leaf springs stand out? They would overpower what people really want to look at like your wheels.

here's a pic of the car

I'm redoing the whole underbody and I just thought some contrast might different.

blah..always room. I bet I can find more then enough room.

Use smaller notch that will not require much if any cutting into the bed(bolt in notch will work) use a KP 6 link with fix it kit. Mount tank/valves/compressors under the bed and then just bag the front like normal.... So, now you have room..go order parts //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

I have a battery rack of 4 D3100's going under the frame... NO ROOM //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif plus.. I hate bags, I also have a ton of weight going in, I'd rather trust my new leafsprings and helpers springs than that.
