Default what color?

going to get my truck painted once the motor and tranny are done but having trouble deciding what color. i narrowed it down to 5 that i like. all the colors you can see by looking up either corvette or pick ups on the build your own chevy.

besides a couple nicks and scratches here and there, nothing is wrong with the paint. some of the scratches it has i cant seem to buff out to well. the worst spot is on the bed where the plastic bed caps used to be. a few rock chips here and there that show up alot when the truck is clean.

i dont like repaints unless you do a really thorough job. its just cheesy when you can tell it was a different color.

Have you thought about Hot-Rod Flatz? They have more the 60% shine black.

If I have my truck long enough to be re-painted I have contemplaited some of there colors.

i cant do dark colors or i'll have to wash my truck everyday lol. i drive alot on dusty farm roads so i kinda wanted a color that doesnt. i like the color it is now cause it shows very little dirt from a distance, its dirty as hell in this picture ut still look half way nice. the reason i want to change the color is there are like 20 other chevys in my area that are the same color. i want something thats a little different.
