what color?

hey guys, i've been thinking and i think after the holidays i might be getting some camburg UCA's and my DL's are blue and the Camburgs are grey so they wont mesh to well so i want to powercoat either the camburgs blue like the DL's or get both of them painted.

What color? i dont want black its to dark i want something to stand out but i dont know if blue is the right color. my truck will be just black and white, no other colors so any input?

camburg is a company... they make heavier duty upper control arms for F-150's..

DL's are fabtech Dirt Logic 2.5" coilovers... they are suspension components..

camburg's are aftermarket upper control arms and DL's are dirt logic coilovers

if it was me, i'd get the camburgs and dl springs powdered dark shadow grey, it would tie in with the lower two-tone and if you get flares would pop out at ya when you looked inside the front fenders

na dont do DSG then it will all just run together... The black in the fender well will absorb the DSG parts and they will look like something that just runs with the lower DSG on the truck...the camburgs come in a similar DSG color from the factory anyway.

Id say go white, yea it would be tuff to keep clean but it would look sick and it would make those parts pop against the dark fender well and DSG on the bottom of the truck...If you where not interested in white id say red. The white/DSG color combo had a red pinstripe between the two colors (in that creavace) on the obs f150s that looked really good. The colors just seemed to mesh well.

I'd go red. Believe it or not the taillights will tie the red upfront together. Paint your calipers red also. It will look sharp w/the white.

i vote white as well, its got a lot more class than red or blue will ever have... i had a white car with white brake calipers, and it looked GREAT and was very easy to keep clean, just get a good quality paint

hmm i like white, i dont know about red, i would keep blue before the red, unless the truck is red im not a fan of the color.

Ill have to think about this, i already thought about white i just didnt want it to be to bright though.

Ok thank you guys. Unlike in the Care & Detailing, in suspension and 2004+ F150 section there is no sticky about abbreviations I would rather ask publicly than make myself look stupid publicly. I think black would be best.

i honestly think you should just powdercoat the camburgs blue to match the coil overs.. It will look much better than red and if you had grey, many people would not be able to tell you have aftermarket suspension. White wouldnt look bad either, but I still think the blue would look sick with your white and gray.
