    Maybe instead of painting do a vinyl wrap so as to preserve the resale value. If you did that I would go flat dark grey (like MGM shade) that would look quite good I think!

    I'd go with the cement grey. I assume you are paying a shop to do this and you have already looked into pricing? It's not to cheap to have a quality shop do a job like this. It obviously varies depending on vehicle but I know my shop charges around 3500-5000 for complete paint jobs. And that's not including inners.

    At that price you'd almost be better to sell and buy the color if truck you like.

    Other option is Rubber Wraps.. I've seen a few around here one camo pattern on a Lexus IS and it look awesome! And it comes off when you want it off!

    I always like the light tan or even better the light grey, looks almost white but not . . . That'd be my vote.

    Camo pattern is never cool unless it's a beater and you're doing it for the heck of it.

    The only cool camo patter is multicam. Everything else looks cheap.

    Just use plastidip. If you like camo, plastidip can be done for that also. Pretty cheap and good DIY project. Plus it is reversible.

    I'm almost certain that I'm going to paint it Army Green.

    and Yes i plan on taking it to a professorial shop that painted my cousins previous g35. They use PPG paint i believe, I honestly don't know much about paint jobs but my cousin said that he does great jobs.

    Here are pics of his old G35.

    Is it possible to paint it a matte color? Matte black like stealth fighter or matte desert tan would be cool.

    i painted my old jeep olive then put a flat clear over it (green was PPG waterborn paint.. clear was flex-n-flat PPG flat clear)

    this color would look AWESOME on a tacoma!!
