Blue, Red, Orange, Green. Almost any color would match with black top and gray interior. Personally I would tend to stay away from blacks or reds on your car if it was totalled and your doing the work yourself since Reds are really expensive and dont seem to last as long and blacks will show any small inperfection that your bodywork has. Go a hunter green!

Thanks, it's not metallic, it's a 2005GMC Sierra truck color, Arrival Blue. I had it taken down to bare metal, removed every little ding,flat sandedandthen painted, withsmoked head lights & fog lights.In the pic's I didn't have my front wheels on yet, I now have 205x55x15's on 8' wires on front, and 295x50x15's on 9"wires in the rear.
For some reason I can't get my pic's on here right yet, I don't have problems on other forums. You have to click on each blue one.
