Painting Differential cover?

Ok guys....Im off of work at the moment and Im getting really bored. Im thinking of painting my rear cover...my truck is white. Should I match it for the hell of it...I know it will get dirty but I dont care...or should I paint it black and pull out my airbrush and slap some realfire on it...maybe mask off an f150 logo and pop lightning all around it and pull the logo leaving it black...heck I need an idea.

I painted my entire rear axle black. If I were you, I'd paint it black and follow it up with a F-150 Stencil similar to FordGuy's. That way it stays looking a bit cleaner, and would look really sharp!

I vote airbrush. Let your creative juices flow, but use bright colors to pop it from under the darkness and shadows from beneath your trucks realm.

X2 for airbrush. I agree about the bright colors. It would really set it off.
