My B2 is black on top and pinkish tan on the bottom with an ugly yellow stripe in between. Any suggestions for a new bottom color?

Black Rustoleum Bed Liner. $43 a gallon at Wal-mart.
 
Silver, and remove the yellow stripe.
 
On two-tone vehicles the lower color is usually darker, for the dirt off the wheels, but tan is a fine color, since sand and mud are generally tan. Whatever you choose, you do need to get rid of the stripe.
 
I vote for blue. Jeeze, is that an old early 70's mazda truck in the background? Rotary engine?
 
I actually like the tan. If I had to go with another color, it would be silver, or all black. All black B2's look sweet!
 
LOL anything but pinkish tan!..... I like the all black look, but I think if you twotone it you should invert it with black bedliner on the bottom and red or grey up top. The black and mint green is a nice color scheme too. Black and blue i havent seen too often, but a brighter louder blue maybe.
 
the "pinkish tan" is officially "Sand". i have it on my truck. i opted to keep it and repaint the upper green. but, i did have it line-x'ed so all the "Sand" in my avatar is bed liner except for the flares. also did the interior floor and the inside of the bed. like it lots.
so, maybe you should consider repainting the top part of your b2? just a thought.

did my roof in this stuff, pretty good stuff

heres a tip though, roll it on first and then go over with the spray can. it makes it alot more textured then just rolling it

imo it looks pretty dam good, i like the color scheme, kinda like the old jeep sahara's
 
Thankyou for the good suggestions. Sorry if I insulted anyone's tan color. I'm not wild about black since it shows dirt so bad and also is really hot in the summer. The pic was when I first got it. Fortunately or unfortunately all the paint is in good shape after doing a quick hand buff job with McGuires #4 compound. Must have been before they started using base/ clear coat since a lot of black came off. I'm not too fond of the running boards but they are mounted really well and my wife seems to use them since she shattered her knee a couple years ago. I wonder how it would work if I did the black bedliner over the tan and the running boards. I was thinking of raising the B2 a couple inches and putting a little bigger tires on it, say 235s or maybe even 30's. Not sure if they would clear the running boards when turning since the wheels I have on it now set out more than the stock ones. The interior is tan and I now have on it the gold center wheels from the 84 B2 with the noisy engine
