What color to Durabak???

So the truck is forest green now, the paint is peeling on the roof, the hood and right fender are black, there are scratches all over, so I am going to durabak it, and was wondering what color I should do it in. I would like you to take a look and just give me your opinions, My camera is dead so I will put up a couple pics, all I have but I will put up a thread when I actually do it.

Are you going with the smooth or the textured...and your 4runner is a 2nd gen correct ?

No, its a 3rd gen, I have not switched my profile pic yet, I kinda like the textured, so that is probably the route I will go.

yellow is sexy
it stands out and is UNIQUE
on there site it says to do it with rough and then smooth to maker a nicer finish for vehicle exteriors, I was thinking green just cause it would match already but was wanting something different but i had been leaning towards the yellow, the interior will eventually be repainted also, i gave gray a thought for awhile to...

black is nice but it is a heat trap
the plan is for 35s eventually and front and rear bumpers so black one the bumpers and black wheels if I could get the offset

come pay day if I have enough I am going to give them a call and talk about how many gallons and such but I think yellow is nice

well I do not know it it will adhere to the vinyl type in the interior, if it will then i will do that also but not yellow that would be too much, i will do the floor atleat and paint all the plastics
there is a nice thread on here somewhere of a guy doing his whole interior and it was real time consuming but made it look real nice, one step aT A time i figure
