    Whatever color that looks good to your eyes.

    My personal preference would be chrome/silver with red or purple outline, or maybe blue with yellow outline.

    Please post a pic of the truck later on. I like blacked out trucks (or cars for that matter).

    Teal; like the truck in Turker's avatar. Also, when looking at pictures of other trucks computer screens do not match what your eye can see, or what a printer can reproduce. You could always ask a letterer or sign-painter for their opinion.

    The problem is all colors go with black.

    You could go to one of these custom lettering shops and let them design your lettering and graphics professionally. They can show you on a computer before they print them out. There's alot of cool designs coming out lately.

    Thanks for the ideas, most colours do go with black. However i'm likeing the ide of using a colour with outlines on it.

    The truck belongs to my buddy who is leased to quality carriers. When he signed on he needed lettering so or some reason he ended up with dark blue almost purple. I keep buggin him about how bad it looks so he said to come up with a new colour and get prices for it.

    Attached is the current pic. Still wants to get some black stacks amoung other items.
