    I dont know about your area, But I dont see too many mag greys around here, and I like having a color more rarely seen. It all boils down to you though, no one can answer it for you.

    No Radiant Red for 09...Barcelona Red..Not as Bright, but much more metallic! ... Just purchased an 09 Dbl Cab TRD this summer.

    Could not find it in Barcelona Red in Michigan!:mad:

    Had 3 Dealers around with Magnetic Gray.....Had to go to OHIO to get my Barcelona. Very happy with it!:yay: Red is my Vote!

    BTW something to consider......what look do you want with add-ons and mods? If you like the dark/black out looks than go for a darker grey. I personnaly am sticking with Silver/Aluminum accents to go with the Red.

    Have fun choosing!:rolleyes:

    I was told by the dealer that magnetic gray basecoat (or primer, I can't remember) is same color as topcoat paint so minor scratches will not show.

    I was looking for a timberland mica at first, but changed my choice to magnetic gray as soon as I saw it.
