Magnetic gray aging vs black?

heading to look at a 2020 mag gray sport now. Always wanted black but can’t find a premium black around here.

Thoughts on magnetic gray aging vs black? Maintenance? Scratching?

I’ve always bought black.

 

Wait for the right color.
It’s worth it.

 

Both MGM and Black will show dirt very easily and scratches, but MGM may have slight edge there. I'd classify both of those paints as higher maintenance in that regard. Can't comment on durability. Get what you want and are prepared to maintain.

 

MGM will 100% age better and hide dirt/scratches better then black. I thought I wanted black too until I saw MGM in person but if your dead set on black I would wait for your preference then get stuck in a loan/purchase for a color you hate.

 

I have had both black and MGM - agree with others... MGM does age, hide dirt/scratches and easier to maintain better than black. After a little under three years still very happy with MGM - got a little tired of black after a while, opinions vary.

 

Black is unforgiving. I love black but it's a lot of effort and you see every imperfection.

I would go for MGM or Cement if I did a do over...

 

I’ve owned one black truck (first vehicle). That thing was a PITA to get clean and then keep clean. You could see every scratch and dent in greater detail it seemed. IMO with any lighter color it would be harder to notice a scratch and you wouldn’t have to spend so much time detailing it.

 

Really very simple.

Buy what you want.

Don’t settle for second best.

My $.02

Good luck whatever you decide.

But Quicksand is actually the best color...

 

i wish i would have gotten white. as said before, it always looks dirty and shows every scratch

 

Black Premiums all over here in Midwest. Specifically Indianapolis area. Good deals to be had if your willing to travel.

I have black and like any color will show scratches. Just don’t be an idiot when washing and detailing. It takes some work, but mine looks great. Get the color you want.

 

I’ve only owned one black vehicle and now I will say as others have mentioned it is an absolute pain in the rear end to clean and keep clean but there is no other color that looks as good as black does clean and detailed. You can turn black into a literal mirror but it lasts for about 2 days before every dust and dirt particle known to man shows up all over it clear as day.

 

This is the truck. I gotta say even though it wasn’t even clean I liked it. They just had taken the white protective plastic off. I really like it. I don’t think I would be giving up anything.

 

You plan on building on it or leaving it stock? Good lookin truck!

 

No idea. Probably stock but I’m guessing most people here started that way.

 

I was iffy on the MGM before I saw mine in person. It would have been my preferred color had I seen it in person up close prior. Magnetic Gray leads the way. Nice truck!

 

Haha absolutely, if you haven’t already agreed on a price and you’re sure thats the truck you want Tell the salesman its not really the color you wanted but you’d be interested for the right price. It’s gotta be super easy to get a new truck cheaper right now. Good luck, let us know how it goes.

 

hold out for the black...Be prepared for a bit of extra TLC as far as keeping it spot free. I had a 1999 Tacoma in Black. The water in my municipality is really hard and prone to leaving spots.

 

But black looks so good when its clean

But is definitely harder to keep clean than any other color out

 

I already have a great price on it. 1200 over dealer net. Up here that’s as good as it gets. Closest I could come was 2700 over dealer net.

 

actually White is supre...... never mind Quicksand it is
