So many colors haha, that flat black dak is pretty sick.. I'd never want to do that for my truck though.
I eventually wanna repaint my whole truck and not just a few parts but oh well don't have the money yet.

I think everyone is thinking i was wanting to paint mine flat black but i wasn't. I was wanting to paint the truck gloss black and have a flat black stripe on the bed and some flat black dakota logos. But I'm thinking that I will probably go with grey. Unless I change my mind before the time comes that is

Then do a gloss gray with dual black stripes down the center all the way down to the bottom of the tailgate

Id shoot more gunmetal type gray...or is it grey...

Flat black was cool in the 60s, on cars from the 40s. or bikes. Im a fan..just not on a big flat thing like a truck.
Anyway, 2 points of black(glossy)...if you get in any tight spots wheelin, it will show thru clear. With Maaco paint, it might just be ok, cause it'll come off as you look at branches...ha! This will be any color I guess.
It is a bitch to keep clean, but sexy as hell all the time. Anyway, either way, there arent many bad colors for a Dak...

That is the main reason that I am leaning toward grey. I do a lot of trail riding and most of the trails I ride on are very narrow so I don't want a thousand scratches showing through. After i get it painted I plan on staying away from narrow trails so I don't get any scratches but I know I will get some scratches.
