[tcb] Re: Update on Sparky

I plan to stay with Chianti Red on the bottom, but I am considering Pastel 
White from the bump up.  I think the white on top would take the sun a 
little better plus the contrast should look good. That was a standard 
combination, but from what I've seen normally campers were a solid color.
