I am on 4.7 years, and it is getting close. I decided to go with a custom dash for my rig, now I need to decide what color to paint the dash. It is bigger than original, so I'm trying to decide between Gun metal (roll cage), Red, Semi Flat Black, or White. Let me know what you think and why? I believe the white will wash out the gauges, the gun metal might be too much, and that leaves red or black. The white top will be off most times, so, I'm leaning black or red...but which one?

I’m going to say red. Or maybe a 2 tone red and black? That’s some pretty sweet metal work there BTW!

I put the cage back in, bolted in the dash, and the glove box was already red. So, I think it's gonna be a red dash.
Thanks guys for comments

Red. My bronco was originally red with an off white dash so I guess that would be another option. All really depends on what you like.

Well of course purple....ah wait a minute, of course RED. That will make the roll cage stand out in the sea of red.

Or maybe leave it raw and do some red and white pinstripes to tie the body color and gauges into it..........
