Line-X going on, help me choose a color

I'm getting the bottom of my truck sprayed with Line-X soon & want some opinions on my color choices. The truck is "Deep Amithist Pearlcoat" which is navy blue with a purple pearlcoat over top. I call it "Blurple". The truck has silver on the bottom from the body line down. I thought that I was surely going to just get it sprayed with Line-X in silver, but I was also throwing around the idea of a Charcoal color or maybe Black. You can kinda see the truck in my avatar & this pic. What do you guys think?

I have heard that the black Line-X holds up better than colors. I have a charcoal grey truck with black Line-X lower panels and it looks good.

I think the color that's on it now looks great and offers a nice contrast with the amethyst.

I second that. the colour scheme is perfect the way it is, if you can line-x it that colour, go for it.

The black, even though its just a mock-up job, detracts from the look of the truck. Too dark

Thats kinda my first impression also, but a few friends brought black to my attention & got me thinking about it. I'm probably gonna just stick with the silver. The line-x guy says that he could do any color that I want, even Blurple if I wanted.

Well, I think that I am now 100% sure that silver is the color. I planned on silver from the beginning, but you know how it goes. One guy says "why not black?" & it throws you into "what if" mode. I just wanted some opinions to back my decision. Thanks guys.
