Hey y'all I'm back with another question. I'm making my truck a daily driver and I'm repainting the interior and the exterior of the vehicle. I was wanting some opinions on what color would be best to paint it. I have added some that I like. What would you guys choose.

#2 Gray metallic. The primer black look is played out. At least it is in my part of the world.

My vote goes to the second pic. White looks good also though hard to maintain and clean.

A quick question for all you paint guys. How long can I keep my sanded down truck in the bare metal state before I get some epoxy primer on it? also have any of you done the vinegar and water wash before applying primer?

This Satin Black hands down! It makes all the components of the truck like painted block, carbon graphite and chrome accessories even the shocks stand out nicely like no other color can do!

Preferably not leaving it in bare metal at all if stored outside. Rust will show up from condensation the next morning. Depends a lot on weather/storage conditions.
