    Hope everyone in the 2nd Gen Fam is doing well. Recently sent in my truck to get work started on a new paint job. Still got a couple of days to decide on a new color. Was thinking of going with that new Wind Chill Pearl. Any ideas? Original color was 09’ Superwhite. What would y’all do

    I'm not a fan of pearls because they're so hard to lay down unless you're spending big bucks on a good paint man. I'm a fan of green and really like the new Army green color.

    I would go with green also! I wish my black tacoma was that color.

    Seen a few later model GM trucks with a royal blue color. I think that in a matte finish would be cool for a Taco.

    Nissan had a greenish mist color 10 years or so ago. For a green, it was really nice.

    I like the Army green because it's a solid color. It'd be easy to match and touch up.
    Mine is Spruce Mica which is sex on wheels, but I'd hate to try and get that metal flaked to match on a partial repaint. Up close, it has a LOT of depth and color. You can see at a distance that my bed sides don't match the cab. A few psi through the gun can make a visible difference.

    That spruce green is one of the best colors out there!

    pinstripes. lots of pinstripes.
    I love the classic Toyota colors that have been around for a while. Quite partial to the Super Red II that's on my Supra. I think I'd just refresh the Super White, then you won't have to worry about mismatched sills and engine bay. Unless you're doing a complete color change, then Baltic Blue Metallic or Royal Sapphire Pearl.

    Man, that’s such a personal decision but I love the dark greens. I had a forest green Ford Escape years ago and that was my favorite color I’ve ever owned. I wanted an army green taco but couldn’t find one that I could afford with the right options.
