Pearl white.

Stupid question but without totally stripping, and pulling the engine/trans. how do you change color and not have the tell-tale areas with the original color?

That DOT Orange looks great on a lowered truck with some nice wheels...anewlevel's truck is sweet. Yellow is pretty cool too...or lime green like some of the old Mopars. Of course I'm partial to black...I love satin black, maybe with some old school pinstriping.
