im probably biased. i love white trucks. honestly, the hide better dirt and stuff than black or any other colors..

DO NOT PAINT IT BLACK. I have a black 4Runner, and it is scratched to SH
. Black is one of the most difficult colors to keep clean and maintain. ANY scratches, even little ones, will make your paintjob look like crap. If you want a color that is easy to live with, I'd suggest a non dark, and non metallic color, like a nice red, or green, or blue or something. Just my 2cents, but it's good advise, just trying to save you some $$$. Also, if you do paint black, make sure your body work is absolutely flawless, because any/all dents will show up like crazy.

i never thought about the scratches and stuff. and i go have a couple lil dents in it. so black is out of the picture now. i dont wanna dump a ton of money into the truck. and i want a basic color so it will sell. my goal is to painted it nice so i can sell it for a lil more. does any one have pics of a white reg cab with black wheels ?

Are you sure it needs paint to sell????? My paint is no good, but with a little wax, and some polishing compound, it shines pretty good. Also, if you have scratches, try to buff them out. I'd try the wax, though. and then dress the tires, and it'll look just fine.

well yes it needs paint lol.
the stock color was the forest green.
than it was cat yellow
and now its bomb can red.
Yester day i got thedrivers side front corner pannel, drivers side door, roof, and back of cab sanded.
Still to do is the whole bed, hood and passanger door, and corner pannel.
the only problem is a sq. foot of the hood and the pas. door all has sanding wheel marks. (lets not go into how they got there)
so should i buy one of those rubber wheels that go onto a 4" portable grinder that you stick the paper onto it. would that take out the marks or what?
