    Here’s my old truck with a charcoal grey job from maaco, they honestly did a great job IMO didn’t see any quality control problems, and they’ll paint your skid plate for free too.

    A thing or two...
    Out of those options, I would go with the grey. My truck in Silver Streak Mica, and it's great because it doesn't show dirt or scratches. For other stock colors, I've always really liked the Speedway Blue, and I think Inferno Orange looks great.

    I need to get my fiberglass painted too. I figure it probably wouldn't cost much more just to have the whole truck resprayed, so I've been contemplating whether I want to stick with the stock color or change it up. I love the Speedway Blue, but my WRX is WRB and is a PITA to keep clean. I imagine the orange would be too.

    I've been Duplicolor rattle-canning my fenders. It's coming out good. Color is only off because the cab is faded and I haven't clear coated yet. And I really don't care if I scratch it all up.

    I used peel and seal from Lowes (in the roofing department.)

    Also fatmat when did the carpet kit. Carpet helped at ton, It's still pretty terrible going down the road, so I just rock the headsets with the music up.

    Can’t remember exactly but between $12-1500

    I tried the duplicolor rattle can route but didn’t have the skill to make it look any good.

    I don’t own the truck anymore so can’t speak towards the longevity.

    Copy that man not too bad... looks go to me in the photo.

    When I get glass for double cab, I'll spring for a legit paint job.

    The single cab I'll stick to my rustoleum Khaki $3.96/can. I think I can do the whole truck in 10 cans. lol

    What PSI are you guys running in your rear shocks on DMZ kits. I have seen anything from 180 to 250 PSI on other sites for other trucks. All my other shocks have come pre-charged at about 200. First time I will be dealing with bypasses though so I wasn't sure if it made a difference.

    I put 150 in mine. There was a tag on it from King that said 150 psi recommended.
