Help me pick a color?


Recommended Posts

Anyone that says that the dark colors stay clean for a long time must never get out of town or off the pavement. Not saying that there aren't some nice dark colors but they will show dirt and dust with just a minimal amount of moisture. I live off the beaten path so I find it much easier to keep white looking better for a much longer time. Now if I lived in town and had a garage that looked like the dealership's showroom I'd go with one of the dark grays.

NEVER thought I would own a white truck. But the White Frost Tri coat is stunning.

White? That is one of the worst, drive in the first rain and there are dirty grey/black spots and runs all over it (or brown if its dirt roads). Silver, grey or tan would be the easiest if you apply some common sense on what dirt/grime looks like on a vehicle. Make sure there is some metallic in it but straight white???

Pick the color you like best, you can see them all here and if you want different pics just search the color name...

I’m quite aware of how the website works. If you’ve been to that website, you’d also realize the colors aren’t always the best representation of the actual color. I was hoping to get some real world pictures from people who have actual experience with them. Thanks for stopping by though.

Thanks for all the replies guys, I appreciate you taking the time to help. As for the wife, she’ll be preoccupied for a while as this happened last night.

I know people like to share pics, but honestly, hit your nearest lot and actually look.

 

Unless you are one of the few that has actually calibrated their computer monitor, you aren't seeing the true color anyway.

To each his own , I personally don't understand why anyone would ask some unknown people on a public forum what color he should get, look at all of them and make the decision for yourself, your the one that has to live with it. As for the blogs that state which is the best color to hide dirt, it is just that a blog which is some ones opinion. You know what they say about opinions?

Well the white frost tri coat does have metallic in it. Maybe that's why it looks cleaner than summit white? Not sure - but " had a silver Chevy Silverado, and my WHite Frost tro coat Sierra Denali stays cleaner looking than the silver one ever did.
