It's a good question and I did think long and hard about it, why blue and not black. Here is my reasoning -
- Blue is nicer to work on than black, not so dark underneath
- It's the same colour as the cab so less wastage of paint
- When the body goes on the chassis will be pretty much completely hidden - current plan is a camper body with side lockers etc.
If the chassis was going to be visible I would have gone for black
