Keep it black so it won't look like mine when I paint it flat green . You're the one that's going to be driving it, you make the call.

Re: Opinions Needed On Color Choice

I've got the deal of a lifetime for you! Send me enough paint and materials to do my truck. Make it a metallic maroon or brandywine type color. I will paint mine and send you the pics. Then you can decide if you might want to paint your truck that color. I'm thinkin---This would be the best way for me to help you decide.

The Forrest Green one above is fantastic.

Check out this '40 COE. It's my absoute favorite for the earlier-than-Task Force trucks. I think its quite close to Army Drab-Not! i.e. Army Drab made glossy.

Re: Opinions Needed On Color Choice

i gotta say - i likes the greens too - here's one of my faves...
But it's also hard to beat a DARK blue. So many colors, so few trucks (in my garage, that is)...
