Safecraft Fire Extinguisher Opinions Needed

Most of you are familiar with my car. It is black exterior with a black interior. I have red calipers, red harnesses, some red lettering, etc. So basically, the motif is black with bits of red.

I am getting a Safecraft Fire Extinguisher and would like some opinions.

I have a choice of a powder coated black, red or polished stainless steel Model PB2 extinguisher. The black ones are brand new!!

Here is a picture from their site. They do not have a black photo. The head is billet aluminum in all cases.



My hacked PS version of the black one:


So, please offer your opinions with regard to the color......SS, Black or Red

SS is my first choice
Black would be cool but with already all that CF you need some contrast...What color are your seatbelts?? If they are red go red exting.

I agree with Msindi...go with Red if your belts are Red..otherwise the SS. Also, I would go with Red if your seat stitching is Red.

Ken;
I think that either Red or polished SS would be appropiate. Black would blend in too much and white is best for use as as a paperweight on the office desk (or perhaps Porschebabe could pull it off in her car).

Maybe I am old fashioned, but somehow black does not seem "cool" on a fire extinguisher... I think a brighter color is better...

Extinguishers are meant to be seen and the black would blend in a little to much perhaps. IMHO The SS is nice b/c it stands out and does not look as commercial/utilitarian as the red. Perhaps a custom finish in Guards Red???

Most home and offices have red exstinguishers. Black looks nice but ss is not something you would see in buildings, home depot, etc.
They all look good but ss looks high tech and has my vote.

Heya Ken, I would do either black to make it super stealthy... or red. Do you have a roll bar? In that case you could do the chrome...
