Detail suggestions. - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

The truck is having the body taken off for painting like the photo. The interior will be painted to match the bottom and interior door panels will match the top. Now I have to figure out other finish details, IE how I am going to do my seats, the bed strips, the frame components, the headers. suspension, the sway bar, I am having the wheel wells, firewall, and under the hood the bottom color and the hinges black, heater box black. The engine will be Chevy orange with aluminum heads. I am kind of leaning to a combination of the exterior colors on my seats but don't really have a pattern in mind, actually kind of lost. So any ideas, comments, and pictures would help. I do know I don't want to "over do it" with too many different chassis colors. Does anyone still paint headers old school high heat white?

Thanks

Thought of something else. Rear sport bumper or no bumper? What about the GMC on the tailgate? I was kind of thinking maybe a shade or two darker than the bottom color. I am very color coordinated challenged. If it wasn't for Garanimals I wouldn't know what to wear !
