Right on man. My last build I went with the flat tan after being inspired by one of our mil trucks when i was still in. Check my build

I really liked the flat rugged look until i seen my buddys bright yellow fj40 driving down the street in all its glory. Now my next build is going to need to have nice paint as well. I know alot of people here will disagree but for a dd/ weekend warrior it makes a built truck look that much more sick.
I had looked at your build years ago when you were working on it. I know what you mean about the paint looking good, and standing out. But I am going to stick with the desert tan as my truck back in Iraq was.
