For all you 4 Wheelers out there, What is the best colour vehicle to have for Offroad use? By this I mean hiding scratches and dings. I have a White 4Runner and the paint seems to stand up well to branches dragging along the sides while in the trail. The vehicle can be buffed and looks like new again. Lets hear about the other colours..especially the dark ones. I cant imagine black to do too well...especially a vehicle like a Black TRD FJ...Kindly post your thaughts.

 

White and silver.

My white 4Runner held up very well, and was easy to buff out PNW pinstripping.

The FJ with the silver is just as easy to buff out, and hides dirt very well.

 

I had a painter buddy tell me that green, even a dark green, would hide inperfections in bodywork pretty well. But traditionally the lighter the better.

 

On my '95 Runner I have the 'champagne' color, you know the silvery-metallic-sandy-tan color. Not the more goldy color on pre-95 4Runners. I have scratches on it from the first day I bought it (off the lot!), and you'll never see them unless you're close and the light hits them just right. Stand back about 5-10 feet, even the dust is hard to see.

 

yeah Id say white or silver unless u have a flat paint color like I one time heard they were going to do on the fj but have never seen one.

 

not black. that said..black is my choice for all my cars. if i had to chose another..itd be a charcoal/dark grey/gunmetal colour.

 

White without doubt. From a good 20-30 ft. away truck looks great. It's not till you get up close that you can see all the pinstriping and dents.

Thought white was kinda bland when I first got the truck but I don't think I'd be able to wheel a black truck *shudders* White's definitely my favorite color for a truck that gets used.

 

Here comes an old FJ40 color, and hopefully Toyota will bring it back.

This guy is paying $6K to get his done in the old dune color.
I would have ordered it if it was avaible.

Silver gets my vote. I hadn't washed the truck since November until this last weekend. In that time I went off-roading several times and spent a week up in Mammoth driving through snow and slush and the truck barely even looked dirty.

 

my silver has been easy to buff out branch scratches. only needed heavy work on the deep stuff.

 

Gotta be silver first, white second.

 

you can really see the pin striping on mine, though not as bad as black.

 

Thats what I figured. I painted my 83 the new FJ yellow instead.

 

A buddy and I both went in most of the same off road spots this summer. I have white and he has dark green. His is pinsrtiped and mine looks great from 10 ft. away. Up close you can see some in the white.

Seems like the darker the color the worse it shows the wear.

 

Flat black.
If the metal starts to show up just hit it with a rattle can.

 

Desert dune, mix of silver and white

 

I confer, Desert Dune is a nice color on the trail and off...
