What color for paint (pix added)

Alright guys.

I got back into another chevy a while back and stopped driving the yota. BUT im not out the yota game. Im about to redo my toyota. Paint. All body work. New motor. (This motor runs fine, but im going new)

But what i cant decide is what color i should do. I want it to be clean looking. And my plans include sas with 5" springs in addition to my 3" body.

Here's a few pictures of it next to my chevy. It has 6" susp. 3" body. 98 z71 with 1500 miles on motor and tranny. 39" tires.

Im just thinking i should go different than white for the yota.











So what do yall think? Go with matching white or something different?

I myself have always wanted a battleship grey black wheels black bumpers tinted windows. I just think the combo would be great. I have always painted the same color as stock due to engine bay door jams etc. If I ever did a frame off its gonna happen though!

Dove grey would be awesome but it would have to be surrounded by black everything to pull it off. Porsche has the color I believe on the newer 911's with some black wheels it's incredible..

Thanks. Yeah the chevy is sweet. I have pix of my last chevy in my build thread.

I do like the gunmetal idea.

My factory color was that light blue and i wasnt personally crazy about it so i went to white. But my chevy is white and idk about 2 white trucks.

I will be pulling the windows doors and motor out to get a full paint job done.
