    Both can look really good. If I were in a position with choosing between two colors with no real leader I would go with whichever one I could get for the best price.

    I voted Mag Gray since I have one but you can't go wrong with either. If I were to get another tacoma it would be the super white...just cause I'd want to do a storm trooper build!

    Gray all the way! I personally hate white. Plus the white require more maintenance. The white is a single stage paint with no clear coat. I love the silver low maintenance and it doesn't show dirt as much as darker colors.

    I have White and I'll personally never buy another color in my life. I love how white hides scratches, dents, swirl marks, etc. I must have a special white truck becuase mine does have a clear coat...

    Here is Toyota's response when asked about the Super White Paint used on Tacoma and Tundra trucks:

    Here is an answer received by a user on the Tundra Forums from Toyota Customer Service:
    If it isn't Pearl or Metallic Paint It is a Single Stage Paint and has no clear coat.

    White is nice... Doesn't show dirt and scratches as much as MGM... But MGM is sick, I would've got a MGM if the dealership had one available.
