    How durable is that satin finish? Part of the durability of a regular finish is that (1) you can wax it and (2) as the surface oxidizes, you can polish the oxide off and expose paint that was below the surface.

    Can the satin or flat finishes be waxed? Is there some other way to protect them?

    What happens when the finish oxidizes?

    How well do they wear? Will they get shiny spots where there they have been smoothed off?

    I think the flat/satin finishes look good when new but wonder how they age.

    Not a fan of the green as well. Do like the matte finish on the truck though. Don't like the short bed on the access cab. What's the point of that? to fit in with all the other's that can't carry anything?

    I hope they offer it in flat tan with matching rims. Then I wouldn't have to clean it after a romp in the desert.

    the truck probably has a satin clear on it witch as far as i know you can wax n buff but dont quote me. satin clear is just as durable as gloss clear.

    and im down for the oldschool look

    It's not bad but I don't care for the color scheme. I guess I just don't get it...
