I like white because its easy to clean, does the olive drab leave streaks of dirt and oil and crap? That truck does look good though!

Dan your 4Runner looks very nice! I probably wont go gray though..  I have seen a lot around my area different shades of gray and silver, but your paint job makes them all look like junk!

RHG! I love this! And Chim, my vote would go for olive drab just cause you see a lot of white round these parts

My ol ranger was a flat black...no difference just flat green for drab, but anyway, it was awsome. Never washed it. Dont have to worry bout scratches, fading, etc. I did have a nice greasy hand print on my hood though that I could never get to go away. Oh well, it was unique.

I hate to say it, but this thread is  :gay:
Its your truck bro, why are you polling the board.  You already know which you like better, If you are looking for confirmation then do it yourself.
If you want the drab, just paint it drab, if you like white, paint it white...
For god's sake, just paint the fawker.

Thanks Cteng...  I guess there always has to be one negative post!

My only thought is that white would be much cooler to ride in, I have a black truck and it stink in the heat.
