[QUOTE="Chris Davis, post: 40892, member: 137"] Re: Par Can shell color choice. I would say it depends on whether or not you want your stages to look like you are in the middle of nowhere (a blank slate), or if you want to think of your equipment as "set pieces". It makes sense to me either way, really. Environment might have something to do with it. Are you doing bars and biker rallies, or are you doing weddings and corporate stuff. It can be cool to see chrome. It looks great on motorcycles, cars, trucks, etc. So why not on a stage. Shiny truss and all.. My take on it is this. If you want to blend in and have a "bare stage" look, then go with black. It just blends in. For some settings, this is considered "professional" and is a requirement. On the other hand, maybe you want to have a "look" to your stage. In my opinion though, if you do decide to get the shiny silver lights, then don't half-ass it. A few lights on each side is not a "light show". It is just some incidental lighting. So I don't think there would be any point in showing that off. But if you intend to grow your rig to include a truss some day (any truss, any day), then why not... There are certain things you deamphasize or diminish on stage that might not be so "nice" to look at. Jabba The Hut, et al. But otherwise... [/QUOTE]
