|  What color should I paint the bed?
Not sure if I should paint the body white, black, or orange to match the cab. I'm thinking white since most utility bodies are white but thought I'd get some opinions.   |

I've thought about skinning it with diamond plate but I've allready got enough work in the bed. Look back through the build thread on it, Bushwacker Hacker.

I put White, but changed my mind... Do Diamond plate for the bed and Doors. Then Paint it Orange....Don't forget the Handles also.

If you're going to distress it (rust, dents etc) I'd say white, just looks so much dingier with rust.

I say paint it a faded white and then add some rust around the latches, handles, hinges and the seams that way it looks like an old service body that was added for storage to a new trail rig!

If I could I would but I've never done aging before. I'd like to try it some time but I'm not worried about for this build. That would look cool though and has entered my mind a few times.

I say black, maybe even flat black. It looks great, I would be damn proud if I did that myself. Who knew you weren't just a post whore  JK
