Color to paint?? Need advice

Hey guys, instead of selling my long travel 1st gen, ive decided to put some money into it again and keep having fun with it. 1st order of business is to give it a new paint job but im hung up on what color I want to go with....what do you guys think? Feel free to post pics to support your answer haha.

Preciate the help!

 

Go with a color very close to the org if not the org. It can be a little cheaper for you because you can get away with doing the jam. If you want to do a full color change red, yellow, and silver are the most expensive. Where in NC are you?

 

Keep it black

maybe go flat black

 

Spend my time between Charlotte and Mount Airy, you visit the state?

 

x2 flat black would be sick

 

I used to live in Hunterville. I moved around for about 7 seven years. I am coming back in a few months though. I'll be moving my water transfer printing shop, RL Hydro-Graphix, to Charlotte. I do some other painting on the side.

 

Thats sick bro! We will have to get up when ya get back to the area. Im always needing stuff hydro dipped so it will be nice to have you around.

 

Have you had stuff done before? Who did it for you? Is there a big market for it around there?

 

Maroon.

 

Pretty big demand man, i mainly do stuff with AR-15s and motorcycle wheels. A guy back toward Mount Airy does it, but hes really just getting into it. I keep him on the basic stuff.

 

Yea cool. I can't wait to get back. Help spread the word and I can cut ya a break on some stuff.

bedliner it

 

Changing color is usually a mistake, paint flakes off where its impossible to prep and sand then you see the color under the new finish.

 

Line-X the whole thing...

 

If it's going to just be a beater truck, for lack of a better term, I wouldn't put any money towards paint.

But if you feel the need, I'd Raptor Line the whole thing... flat black

 

Bedliner is some heavy stuff though. I don't get why people do that to an entire vehicle.

 

I'd go a dark grey metallic. I think that would look awesome and unique on a 1st gen since it was never offered. I'm sure there were a bunch here who would have wanted dark grey 1st gens over black.

 

There's one guy who has his 1st gen double cab painted Magnetic Gray Metallic (2nd gen color).

I thought I had it bookmarked but I don't.

By far the hottest looking color on a 1st gen IMO

 

I'd love to see it! That would be my plan if my black paint starts to fade. Gray on a 1st gen would look sweet!

 

My searching is coming up short.

Not that I could ever do it (going from red to dark gray) but that would be my first color of choice.
