I'd go stock all day long. New original color paint will be like new money on that thing.

Color change means more money or bad look

Best to stick with stock color for resale I would venture. I think I like the gold color the best but it seems the jade that you have is the most commonly liked. Would love to repaint my white tacoma a different color.

A color change never comes out as good as keeping it stock unless you're willing to pay for a complete strip down.

A proper color change will cost more than the truck is worth. To you or anyone else.

A proper repaint will only cost you a kidney.

A cheap repaint will only last 2-3 years.

It's a cruel world.

However, you have a great color, not very commonly seen. I'd definitely keep it that.

OME and worth every penny.

It's a nice color to stay with. If really tired of green trade someone for a color you want. You'll come out ahead.

OP if you have the money, paint it whatever color you want. I love that green btw. I’m about to paint my 2013 Barcelona red dcsb, and am leaning towards hot rod satin black. I could give a damn about resale, I’m doing this for me and plan on driving my ol’ girl till the wheels fall off.
Funny enough, I have the exact same problem as you, my hood and roof have gone in the same direction as yours.
