Default Another one of those what colour threads

Well I dont plan on getting the truck painted anytime soon, but Im trying to get a good idea of what I want to do to it in the future, A paint job will definently be on the list, because Im not a fan of pewter at all. So heres the colours Im interested in, lets see what you guys think. Listed in order from wanted most to least

1.Arrival Blue
2.Black
3.Sunset Orange Metallic
4.Victory Red
5. Open to anyones suggestion of another option

I need to decide soon, cause I got a bunch of interior peices all sanded and primed, just waiting on a decision for paint, thanks alot guys!

Zach

After reading 03sierras comment I should edit my post, the truck is going to be lifted up higher perhaps a sas swap someday, will be occasionaly offroaded

Colors you mean? Anyway for the stance of your truck I would have to vote for Blue, if you were to lower it and go for the sport look I would vote Orange to be different.

If you plan to do much offroading I would stick with a light color to help hide scratches. But thats just me..

black man, sure it'll get a little dirty from time to time (especially if you offroad it) but nothing looks better clean. imo.

Considering you're in NJ and the state is pretty healthy with the salt on the roads in the winter, I'd consider the newer Chevy color, Blue Granite Metallic. And it will give your truck the appearance of being a sleeper. Just a thought.

Yeah I am with him. Arrival Blue looks excellent when clean but it does show alot. But I wouldn't trade my color for anything.

I think Riddick's truck is awesome in Arrival Blue, but taken the body style is different that Arrival Blue may not be the right color.

Hey Riddick...Birthday's are coming up!!

.....Im not in NJ state, I live in Canada, but yeah its definently between arrival blue and black, I dont know what it is about that blue but it amazes me everytime I see it, which around here isnt often at all, maybe 3 or 4 trucks at most with it around here, all crew cab 2500s
