Women just never understand how proud men can be of their small accomplishments.
Normal people don't understand us all in general.

You gotta go with Yellow, it's a Thunderbolt for heaven sake. Going with white or grey would be like the Lincoln memorial with a shaved and crew cut Abe Lincoln. It ain't right. :lol:
There is no such thing as a Thunderbolt that is not worth saving.

Paint it whatever color you like, it's your siren. I've seen white, grey, hell even a video of a green Thunderbolt, installed and in service.
Federal did and still does custom colors upon request.

White and grey are so similar I'd be flipping a coin on it, but that's just me.

That's why I said I'd flip a coin. ;)

I think that you should paint it light blue and white. That would seem pretty cool.

Here is a picture to better describe it. It isn't the best but makes it easier to describe. I have 4 color combinations.

1st combination: The entire blower cover, horn, chopper cap, chopper housing and the back and front rotator box covers are painted light blue. The solenoids, rotator seal, left and right rotator box covers, horn support, screen frame, blower pipe and part of the blower frame in the back are painted white.

2nd combination: It is basically the same as the first one except the front of the blower (where the vents are located) and the back of the blower (where the pipe comes out of) are painted white.

3rd combination: Same as the 1st combo except the chopper cap is painted white. I had no picture for this combination, sorry.

4th combination: Basically the 2nd and 3rd combo. Having the back and front of the blower cover white, and the chopper cap is white.

Hope I didn't confuse you on this list lol.
