    I have been leaning towards doing the white to add contrast in the front. Thanks guys, I am going to do it tomorrow after work and see how it looks. I will add pics when I get it on there.

    I love the look of a blacked out truck. Satin black would be badass.

    Yep, and it will save $$$ on wax...LOL

    I saw a Dodge charger with satin black paint, black wheels, black tint. it looked like a frickin stealth bomber. I liked the satin finish and pictured my truck with it, yeah, it will look sweet.

    Jealous of my bumper? LOL Why is that? There is about 8 coats of satin paint on there, lot's of prep. And I painted it in May, so it holds up excellent. 6 months no chipping, or discoloration.
