Right now I have chosen Oxford White two tone because Im thinking it will hide any scratches or dings better. But really loving the Antimatter Blue, it is really a great looking blue. Only question on how durable this paint is and will it hold up well in long run? Second question, Two tone or solid? Yes I know if personal preference. Funny thing, every time I've bought a vehicle the color choice was always decided for me cause it is what they had on the lot at the time.

Anyone with Antimatter Blue care to chime in on the durability of this color? Truck will be used as a Slide in camper hauler 90% of the time.

 

anti-matter Blue does NOT look like that in person...

You need to see it in person before you commit to it.

I wanted it based on the configurator. I saw it in person... it looks black 97% of the time and the other 3% looks like a dark dark blue bass boat(rainbow metal flake). It wasnt for me.

I have read that a lot also and several people that were not happy with it after getting it.

 

I just ordered a star white 22 cclb dually. I have a 2020 cclb dually and to be honest I feel like the white will suit you better than a dark color. I have agate black on my current truck and it’s a pain to keep clean and the scratches and swirl marks on a dark truck show up immediately.

 

I just sold my 2011 pearl white F150 to prepare for deliver of my Super Duty. Like you I wanted something that didn't show dirt or scratches. The truck sat outside the whole time I owned it and still looked good with minimal maintenance.


That said, I got tired of white. Even though it will show dirt more, I ordered Atlas Blue.....

 

That is about the only wonky thing about ordering. I’ve heard this about the Animatter blue looking almost black. Which makes me wonder how the atlas blue in person actually looks. In configurator atlas blue looks almost like grabber blue, which I love But in vids it looks more metallic.

 

Atlas is probably closer to Velocity blue. It is a very medium blue, but nothing particularly special in my opinion. I originally had Antimatter on order based on the online configurator, thinking it was something akin to Blue Jeans Blue. When I realized it was nearly black, I changed to Atlas. No complaints with Atlas, but not my favorite. I probably should have gone Rapid Red, but wanted a blue truck.

 

My 2016 F250 was two tone, Blue Jeans Blue and Caribou. Loved the BJB and the Caribou was a nice combo.

Current 2019 F250 is Platinum White, the fancy white. Really like it also.

Had a 2022 F350 on order in May that was Oxford White but, that's a story for another time.

Current 2022 F350 on order is Atlas Blue. Blue is my favorite color, wife saw the build with the Lariat Sport Appearance Package and really pushed me to get it instead of white. Since I hate chrome, hopefully this works.

 

I've owned several silver trucks and still have a silver 2007 Mustang GT. Silver's it if you're looking to hide dust & grime a little bit longer in my experience.
You'll always be the one to know where a scratch or ding is and look at it all the time anyway no matter what the color. Get what appeals to you.

 

Can't go wrong with Iconic Silver, stays looking cleaner longer, and if you're going with chrome bumpers, it looks great with them, whole truck looks like it is carved out of billet aluminum.

 

As others mentioned, the Antimatter Blue doesn't look like the website portrays it... which for me was good. I originally ordered black, and really wanted it, but when I finally saw the AB in person, I was SOLD! Unless I am up close, or it is super sunny outside, it looks black for the most part... but not that deep, dark black... like there is something hiding in the black... and there is! A really awesome shade of blue! Like all colors, some just aren't for some people, but for me, AB works. To me it gives the truck a little more character... it's not just black, and its not just blue. Anyway, here are a few pictures shot from slightly different angles, and you can see how the color changes, The first one I can see more blue in it and the second one looks more black. The pictures were shot on my iPhone with a "standard" filter. Of course though monitors/screens can make colors look completely different too, so there's that. I would suggest trying to find somewhere that has anything on the lot in AB and just go see it in person.

As for keeping it clean... well, you don't! You wash it and then a few hours later (or less) you start seeing dirt or dust on it... I would say that a white, or even a silver would hide scratches a bit easier too... but if I had to order again, if I didn't go with AB, I would go with black.

 

I have the antimatter blue in two tone. Here is mine.

 

My '21 Antimatter Blue F350. These 3 pictures probably show the range of the color the best of the pictures I have. In the sun, it is a really pretty metallic blue. Any other time, it looks like a dull black.

 

I just went with black and couldn't be happier.

 

Antimatter is basically black in person. I didn't like that color at all. S I went with Atlas Blue. My truck should be here any day now. Antimatter is way too dark, and the images online are very misleading.

 

i had a gray f150 before my AB f250 and would blast down forest service roads with no regard.... now.... not so much. A gentle breeze will scratch this paint.
