    Black wheels would have to go. Needs some chrome or alum wheels to accent.

    The more I look at this the more it looks like destroyer or leadfoot grey and less like cement

    this truck honestly looks like they laid down a base coat and didn't apply clear over it.

    If most people knew what a proper paint job costs they'd shit. A complete color change and they'd shit even more

    Couple of flap discs and a case of spray paint? That's not that expensive!

    Rattle cans pretty much suck for automotive body paint. One would be better off going to Tractor Supply and getting foam brushes and tractor paint in a can.

Replaced stock radio with a Pioneer AVH series head unit. Focal component system w/a 10" sub powered by 2 Alpine amps. Weathertech floor mats. Line-X'd the bed. SCS Ray 10’s, Installed an A.R.E.

    I just got quoted $1100 to paint the roof, the hood, driver side door and passenger fender. If I had the money I’d love to paint it a darker grey but I really don’t feel like dropping $10k for a paint job on a 15 year old truck

    There was a 1st gen who had a cement color. Didn't look bad.

    Did you ever get around to wrapping the truck? I was looking into wrapping mine that color as well, but i haven't seen any 1st gens in that blue.

    No wraps, I figure I'd just let the sun do its thing. The hood is damaged and so is the roof. Oh well, it's a truck not a showroom vehicle
    Figure I can always repaint it down the road if I really wanted to

    A tacoma buffed down to the metal would actually look pretty sweet :thumbsup:
