Gonna wrap it the same color or do something new?

 

I’m partial to black, I believe it’s one of the best colors to paint a vehicle. Absolutely timeless color.

However I’m thinking of doing a dark gray, maybe Gunmetal. There’s a steel company around here that vinyl wrapped their fleet F150’s and it looks quite nice.

 

ugh you used one of my least favorite words...."timeless"....it's like the word 'moist'. Has to do with where I work lol, long story.

I always had black or grey vehicles since I was old enough to drive (never white...), my truck is the first vehicle that wasn't some shade of neutral, and of course it's bright ass red lol. Surprisingly bright red hides pinstripes really well

 

Vicente hates it when anyone says “A new twist on an old classic.”

When I painted his room I wrote that on the bottom of the blinds I installed. He still gives me shit about it haha.

I wouldn’t mind bright ass red either, but if I was doing bright ass red I would want a nice paint job.

Matte Black looks really damn good, but I’m open to Anthracite or Gunmetal Gray.

What triggered this is I went to install the Aperture Laboratories @Wulf sent me for my hood, but when I saw the state of the clear coat I didn’t want to put such a nice decal on such a horrid finish.

 

yeah I think a matte black wrap would look good. Or a matte army green, that'd be my choice personally if I was going to do a completely different color on my truck.

 

I’ll have to go shop around for wrap shops. Win win for me. Relatively inexpensive paint protection, and easy to remove when I have money for a really decent paint job in the future. My next paint job will probably be Quicksand.

 

I have a love/hate feeling with that color...it looks good if you have contrast to it (black fenders, bumpers and shit) otherwise it looks weird

Same with people that do the full 'white out' look, white bumpers, racks, white everything..yech

 

I think the TRD Pro and X-Runner colors are totally whack, they look weird on a pickup truck. It’s a truck, not a Lamborghini.

 

Yeah I don't dig the smurf blue color at all. And the new green they're coming out with looks great except that it's really glossy...should be more dull.

But these are people that are spending $50k or more on a mid size pickup with slightly better suspension...they know who they're appealing to lol

 

I don’t want to say anything mean about third gen owners. They are excellent customers.

You’re a fake Asian, not a fake white person.

 

I have rice in my veins

 

If you really had rice in your veins your S-Runner would be a slammed S-Runner with Anime girls on the windows and a Kanji “Junk” windshield banner.

 

Thats what we are doing to the 5lug before sending it off

 

Twins are mounted and working, just need to wire up the switch

 

I dunno if the new owner would like that.

 

Where? I don’t know where I would mount mine.

 

I don't have cruise or a washer bottle so the engine bay it is (for now). Just trying to get it installed as quickly as possible since I leave for a 4 day trip tomorrow
