Help me pick a rocker colour

So 5 years of use has taken it's toll on my rockers and I want to spray some rhino or line-x or something on them. How close can that stuff be matched to the five year old factory paint? Should I just try to match it, or go with something different? I wouldn't mind a 2 tone, could be cool. Lastly should a guy do the flares also or just follow the body line? This is the jalopy in question.

Thanks John.

Great work Iker, I tried with MS paint and it was so poorly done I wasn't sure. lol I think I'm gonna go with it just like that. I'll pull the flares and have them spray it. Also gonna pull the body side moldings and toss them. Does anyone know if they can clear coat it or something to keep it glossy instead of chalky like a box liner gets? thanks again all.

Line-X has a new coating that is UV resistant and supposedly fade-proof. I think it is called Line-X Xtreme or some such thing.

EDIT: Line-X Xtra. Knew it was a play on the "X"

So, first i removed the body molding and blacked out the flares!!!


THEN I DECIDED ALONG WITH THAT!!! That it needed a matching black front bumper, window tint, and some smokey headlights.....



Im sorry if your wallet ends up hating me, i have that effect on people

*sorry for the choppyness, if you want better, send me a bigger pic*

Iker you're allright! I like it, I think that might have just put me over the edge on a road armor front bumper. I think with the flares, rockers and bumper in black it would look pretty mean.
