Chalkboard paint, that way you can change the color with some sidewalk chalk whenever you want.

something in a satin finish on the body - a nice medium green color like olive or moss green, perhaps hunter depending on how dark you wanna go; lastly, contrast the lighter color with all your armor and flatbed in a gloss black.

As an AMC fan (yes, it's true. Laugh all you want) , my vote is for AMC BIG BAG ORANGE

Fun fact for Dukes of Hazzard fans: The General Lee Charger was painted Big Bad Orange.

Other suggestions:
Red (obviously)
1990 Corvette Championship Yellow
Krylon Camo paint
Rattle Can Flat Black with "Death Proof" Skull on the hood
Olive drab

I would say pick a factory color from the year it was made, otherwise you paint it some crazy color and it just looks like you gave it to macco and let them molest your truck.

as for a color I would go with that years gunmetal gray. just my opinion. but what do I know im only a painter at a toyota dealer lol
