Anyone have Black Rocker Panel Pics?

[Glider]

I am giving serious thought to doing Line-X on my rocker panels. The simplest approach would be to go with black. My van is silver. I have mixed feelings about the color...does anyone have any photos of vans with black rocker panels? I'd love to get a sense of what it looks like.

Yes Black is proven legite,but from what I’ve seen you can have colors added for a little more $$ a dark grey or even some blue that pops? You can take some sheet metal down,have them spray it and hold it up to van first before committing instead of chiseling it off for a month if you’re not happy...

I've thought about it on my white van. It would hide the rust around the city water connection

To that point --- could you not just get a close color-match in Line-X to your current silver?

I do dig the look of the black rockers, but honestly your silver van (as it sits right now) is aesthetically one of my absolute favorites on this forum. The monochromatic silver van body, set off with limited amounts of chrome...and with the singular black color palate limited to only the wheels/flares --- this looks elegant/organized in a sophisticated/understated, somehow OEM fashion.

JMHO!

That's a great idea.

Dunno about that Texas star. That might be a bit over the top for a demure girl like me.

Wow...thank you!!!

I really do like how my van looks. That's why I'm struggling with this question. According to the Line-X website, they can mix any color. My local shop has an excellent reputation, and they only do black and a couple of shades of grey. When I asked about a color match, they just said no. I'm not sure why. I think I need to do a bit more research on that.
