Which color?

I just picked up a camper shell for the F350. It's old and maybe a little ugly, but the price was right and all the glass, screens, and latches are good and the fiberglass isn't cracked so I picked it up. Here it is.

I was planning on painting it white, but now I'm kind of digging the tan color. So here's the question, which color?
White or tan/brown to match the interior?

Why aren't my pics working?

The tan does look nice, but White always looks so clean and new.
My vote would be for white.

My first thought was definitely white, but the tan kinda grows on you. I think I'd still paint it white.

If you went with tan would it be a different color tan or this one???

I can't see the pics so I'll just throw this out there... I prefer color matched canopies or white if that's not an option.

I'd probably go a bit darker tan, closer to the brown color on the dash. But I was planning on using duplicolor's paint shop paint and it dosen't come in brown so it'll most likely end up white.

Well dang that made that easy. We'd love to see pics of how it turns out

Well here it is painted white.

I was planning on using Dupli colors "paint shop" paint, but when I was at Tractor Supply I noticed that they have quarts of tractor paint that looked alot like the duplicolor stuff but cost about half as much. So its painted with tractor paint. This was my first time painting and once I figured out my gun and fixed my primer fiasco, the paint came out pretty good.

That looks awesome. Very sharp. Nice work.

That is a really pretty truck. I still do a crappy job painting, I need more practice.

Cool thing about toppers is they seem more forgiving when painting. Well, at least bronco toppers are. I like how good that turned out
