Thumbs up

Another vote for Lava gray. I think it's a bit different and that is the effect you want with a truck like yours. Go outside the norm.
Good luck, keep us posted and very nice build.

Cyber Gray is my choice but that Steve Strope Roadrunner is perfectly wicked.

IMO I think you should look at the Cadillac Black Diamond w/Spectra Flair. I've seen it on the V-Series Wagon and it's BAD ***!!

I'd have to go with Cyber Grey also but whatever color is on that roadrunner is badass too.

No Thanks... defeats the purpose of using black as a paint color.... anyone that knows paint knows that metallic blacks are a absolute joke!

I don't. When I was at the V-series lab, I didn't think it looked like a joke on a $70k vehicle. To each his/her own.

The point of using black is to achive depth in the body... a metallic or pearl kills all depth. This is the reason it is a joke. Why waste the effort to make sure the body is completely flat to shoot a color that you risk revealing any bodywork mistakes and you get none of the benefits of your hard work?????

Again I said people that know paint....
