I have been thinking about finish, let’s say, coating on the body.

At one point I was set on a Raptor liner or similar tinted with the stock color code.

Now, not so much. Certainly would be the most durable but also will look the worst in my opinion.

Next in my head was good quality paint in the stock color but a soso spray job since I plan to wrap it.

I had a few days of thinking about getting crazy with paint and lots of clear coat with much less wrap. For example, I had an 80 years ago we sprayed “v8 Toyota Land Cruiser” down the side body line accent and lots of clear on top. Cruiser was dark gun metal with the accent/stencil white, I am a big fan of this kind of thing and think it looks great.

So at the moment not 100% sure which way I am going besides not bed liner. Heavily leaning towards a silver color of some sort, stock color is a beige/silver. I don’t want to go darker in color than a mid dark gun metal. Whether or not I do the paint fancy or not is to be seen as well as how much wrapping vs stencil type work.

Cheers

Toyota 1B2 Antique Sage Pearl would look amazing. It’s always misidentified as “gun metal” or “pewter”.
