Hey guys - I know this is totally personal opinion but I got my truck vandilized earlier this year and this summer I am gonna get it totally re-painted. My buddy paints at a local paint shop and I can get anything I want for $1500. What are your opinions of like a Metallic grey or something similar? Any pics? Suggestions?

Carbon metallic on the 03-05 trucks is my favorite, but I'm biased... It's got an almost three-dimensional character to it, but doesn't show the swirl marks like black.

You beat me to it. I like that idea too. That is what I would do...

That's a great price for a complete paint job. Take your time and remove as much external hardware as possible as overspray is real "ugly". Post some photos of your progress.

If you are changing the color and don't disassemble the truck to do it, it will look, well, crappy.

Stick with the same color. As Tom S says above, unless you almost dissemble the truck is will look lousy. Then you might as well go to Maco and get a 250 dollar job. A repaint in a different color will also lower your trade or resale value.

Ya i like both of those greys a lot - i don't know what to do though - i want to have the whole thing re-panited in one of those greys but thats a lot of work that needs to be done right - on the other hand the champaine paint i have right now is real hard to match - oh what to do?

i like the dark greys also.do*** has a dark (almost black)i believe it is called pearl black.it is as dark as you can go grey without being black and it too has that deep dimentional look to it that doesnt show the swirl
im thinking of doing my cj7with it. also agree that if you dont disassemble the truck to do it it will look crappy j.m.o.
