Default Should I paint my truck black?

Im really thinking about having my truck just painted black with no clear coat and i think it would look good and different..its always covered in mud or sand just cuz 95% of the roads here are dirt and I just repainted my truck and there are imperfections on it and i have adhd when it comes to my truck. Does any1 think I should? or do you have a picture of 1

Yes, you should. But put the clear coat on, it will save you so many headaches trying to keep the paint on there. If you are looking for a flat black, they make clear coats that protect the paint and make it look good, but still keep the flat black look.

Yet another "murdered out" truck? But If your not gonna clear coat it, spray it with primer. You'll have about the same effect.
