So I have a Black AICS 1.5 Chassis L/A 300WM that is going to my smith to get Trued and a new Krieger 26" barrel. The problem is, i dont want to just go black on black on black because I also have a S/A 1.5 Black AICS in 308 that is all black, so I want something different.

Does any one have any pics of Black AICS with different colored Barrels/Actions? Or any ideas on what color besides black I should go with?

As a kid I did a lot of paint work for a couple of used car lots. When they would buy 10 of anything, ie 78 t birds, I would two-tone them to make them pop. I learned that choice of color goes two ways, a clearly contrasting color that sits well agains't the original, or a very, very similar color that shadows the original. For what it's worth, most people loved the very similar color schemes. ( and they usually look really classy) Don't be afraid to think outside the box, play with different combinations, an old tupperware stock and a length of pipe can be painted a dozen times and give you an idea of the finished product. Good Luck
