Body paint is all fine unless you decide to repaint a different color down the road. Then you have to tear the engine bay apart to repaint the firewall. I have done this and it sucks. Not to mention that the body color looks great until you scratch it. Black covers this better and can be touched up easier.

I am working on a 66 C30 and plan on using the Saddle color that was used in the interior on the firewall- I think that this was stock depending on the factory that these trucks were built. I am using it on the interior as well.
