    Black is not only overdone but a real pita to keep looking clean...

    Blue is pretty boring.... no offense Patriot Pop!

    Green is cool but one of those colors that you get sick of in a few years...


    WHITE! is the way to go! easy to paint easy to match easy to clean and covers up imperfections great!

    So my vote it for 2008 toyota fj cruiser iceberg white...

    Yea i have nothing against white. Its white now.... with a few primer spots. But I have always had white vehicles so i want a change. I want something with a little snap to it. And your right, if i go black the body work has to be perfect and i will have to clean it everyday!!!

    Then your spoiled already and don't know it... I have had about 15 cars so far... Ya I wasn't born yesterday! 8) of which the white ones always looked best especially for a daily driver!

    So what I mean is a white vehicle is the easiest to maintain... which if you've had mostly white car you've got used to it's ease of maintainence....

    My money is on you regretting another color after you do it.... Especially if you don't do the jambs and under the hood... or if you do the added cost and hassle!!

    my 93 is white and I love silver and always said I would paint it silver... but I realized it's really not worth it....

    if you really need that change.... consider some vinyl graphics or making it a two tone with another color....

    but I'm betting a fresh white paint job and you'll be looking sharp!

    Okie ganted you make a good point. Yes i 100% agree white is easy! At the same time tho the cost of painting it wont be anymore than the cost of the paint and clear itself. My buddies dad is going to paint it for me. And the only way the truck is getting painted is box off, engine out and jambs done! But either way im still up in the air about color and have a bit of work to do before im really ready to paint! But thx for the input!! :)
