If it was free? Wouldn't even think twice. Straight to the psint shop I'd go. Lol

It would cause a bit of a problem for me though. You have to worry and stress over nice paint. Thats the beauty of a run down paint job for me. Get scratch, chip, or ding? Who cares.

I voted Yes, Original Color.
But I guess it depends on what condition it was in to start with.

Great truck with no rust? Keep it.

Old Beat up rusted truck? Paint it original color.
