I am torn on what color to paint my truck, I am leaning towards a gloss black or possibly a silver.

Pictures would be appreciated.

Thanks

 

Don't have any pics, but you may want to consider what a pain it is to keep a black vehicle clean. Unless you plan on having a show truck. Black will show every piece of dirt,scratch and body work inperfections very easily. Lighter colors won't show these things as bad. Don't get me wrong, when a black veichal is spotless, they look very sharp, but its alot of work to keep them looking good. Just my 2 cents.

Hey thanks for the reply, I have heard the same thing as well regarding black. Maybe silver?

 

IMO A beautifully done gloss black, or even metallic gloss black looks awesome on a truck, However it's your truck and your going to have to be happy with it.

Silver isn't bad either

 

Mine was ordered black, it will be Cream or Cream and white like this one(I don't know who it belongs to). A little dust doesn't make me run to the car wash.

a lot of imperfections up close, but from a distance it don't look to bad

 

I'm partial to Orange and Black myself. You can check this thread out...

Navy blue is a great alternative for black. Looks nice at night!

 

Silver would be cool. Shines super well when waxed

 

82gt that's a nice truck...with what i call a 12 foot paint job...looks good about 12 feet away...

OP...silver is good and you can always throw on gloss black stripes.

 

Black is a nice color. I agree there are a lot of imperfections with a nice paint job when taking it out wheeling. My dad's has owned his truck since 1980 and it's always been black. I some-what became a master detailer due to the fact that I taken it through mud, sand and snow. I love have a passion in keeping my trucks clean but I'm not afraid to take them out wheeling. Here's a pix taken 2 weeks ago after I washed and waxed it.

 

The truck looks great, but I don't think the picture does it justice...F350BRCO does one heck of a job when it comes to keeping that black truck looking better than anything that ever rolled off the assembly line in the 70's...never seen a black paint job look so deep gloss and fresh, you would think it was strictly a show truck....now if I could only get him to teach me a trick or two when it comes to detailing
