    Interestinggggg. I am wondering if I can find a shade close enough to match? If not it'll still be two tone i guess.

    Check the website and order some paint cards. They might be close enough to your liking or you can go to an automotive paint store and get color matched tint. Color match is a little more effort. Call the guys and they can help you out. Prep is the most important part in any endeavor regarding finishing. I did mine about 3 years ago and it still looks great!

    Just a thought, do you have a dog? My truck and cap are black and get very hot in the sun. To the point where i dont like taking the dogs during the heat of the day even with the sliders open. White would be cooler by at least 20 degrees, we checked against my buddys at ine point a few years ago.

    Just the black. Wanted to do the Pyroclastic but it was during COVID era and they were back ordered on the tints due to shipping issues. More of a dark grey. Not a big difference. I was one of the people who worked through the whole thing and didn't have a lot of free time,so I went with the Black.
