What do yall think about Pewter?????

I love pewter on the 4th gens especially with the black accent details, but I am seriously thinking about getting my 3rd gen painted a matte pewter with black and red accent stripes and such. If anyone has any pics of a pewter 3rd gen can u please let me know. thanks in advance.

I really don't know if matte pewter would work too well. To me it would be more of a drab tan color. What makes the pewter pop is the metallic and the gloss.

I love pewter but matte pewter. No, gotta do metallic or semi metallic. As Fyrchkn said it'll look really blah. I'd go pewter with red for the larger accents and black for the trim.
Just my 2 cents
