Have you thought about red to match the sun on the globe? Mike

The silver looks to highly polished and antiseptic. The black is a better contrast and even gives a weathered "patina" look to it.

MATT ALVAREZ OP Veteran Member OP MATT ALVAREZ Veteran Member Joined: Sep 2006 Posts: 4,027 Likes: 136 Cameron Park,Ca. Thanks guys. I did it black because I though it would make the hands and numbers standout. I would have done green but the pump was powder coated and only had one bezel at that time. A friend machined the other one ( Thats why it was silver. That was raw aluminum ). I am thinking about selling the pump it any one is interested. I likeShell
