Akslowroller Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 So I am curious as to what all you guys think about painting our trucks. Should I leave it the original color or just do as I please. My thoughts are a custom paint job won't hurt value. If I had a super low mileage truck that wasn't a DD I wouldn't change it. But that's not the case. What's everyone's opinion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D1SCSS Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I like the OEM colors.... However, you should do whatever makes you happy. A trick paint job would look cool.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D1SCSS Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I did not see that your truck is black.... I would change the color if my truck was black and was looking to paint it. Don't get me wrong, nothing looks better than a clean black SS. My wife has a black Camry and I hate how quickly it gets dirty. On the other hand, it sure looks sexy when clean!!!!!

smalltownguy Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I'm gonna re-do mine with arrival blue but make my stripes (currently decals) larger and painted on as well.... I personally just love the blue but if I have considered other slightly different shades of blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akslowroller Posted October 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 I want to do a deep cherry red. Or a burnt orange. Not sure something different though. I've had a two tone silverado and don't think I want to go that route again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLNAWAY Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 i was thinking about repainting my the victory red with pearl give it a deeper look, but if you decide to go a different color all together think of all the work door jams,engine bay ect...can get $$ over just a scuff,sand,and respray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blown 346 Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 If your worried about a color that wont show dirt and wont show flaws like Swirl marks etc. Dont go with a dark color. Blues, orange,red, or anything with metallic in it. A paint job in general wont do anything with value, but when you change the color, and its not done right, meaning engine bay isnt done, etc etc, that can hurt the value if you decide to sell. When you go to sell it you cant use the price of what it cost to paint and try to get that back. If your ok with painting it and not getting any thing back do it.

JC03SS Posted October 29, 2013 Report Share Posted October 29, 2013 Any color that makes you happy personally I'll never ever own a black truck. Almost all but one vehicle I've had has been blue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
