What color to paint my tonneau?
Looking to paint my fiberglass tonneau. It is normal white color now. I was thinking to match the truck (red), but when I had the vinyl black cover on it was nice to have the black.
or red or black |

Re: What color to paint my tonneau?
depends on what the rest of the truck is gonna look like.. If youre doing alot of chrome then red or black will work.. if youre shaving everything then red.. if youre blacking out windows and using blacked out handles and grille then black...
From what i can see youve shaved alot so id do red

I have been leaning toward red since I painted everything else red, but the black really does make it pop. |

Re: What color to paint my tonneau?
I would go with red, maybe a discret pin-strip job to make it stand out a bit.

Re: What color to paint my tonneau?
I found mine on Craigslist after 2 yrs of rss feed searches. But Gaylord's or snug top sells them from time to time, but they are usually 800-1k.
