    Im looking to get my truck painted and i was shooting around some ideas so i figured i would like to get you guy's input.


    I was thinking either a super bright Alpine White

    or since i would be getting it painted maybe something a little more custom like a light tan/khaki

    does anyone else have theirs painted that sort of a colour?
    if so pics please!!!

    oh snap there's a vehicle in the bg.

    I dunno, I'm not a fan of the cream white myself... I kinda prefer blacked out or a darker blue myself. For the 2nd gen tacos, I think the fully blacked out and armored out are the sweetest looking trucks out. That's just my opinion though. Also, flat black is horrible for the popo's radar/laser :D
