I have tax black... And let me tell you that YES its hard to keep up. I've always had black vehicles. This is the hardest but only because i use it as a truck... If you plan on putting wheels/tires on it that stick out at all.... Dirty instantly. Live/work dusty area.. Dirty... Off road ever... Filthy... Don't wash it just right... Swirl marks galore... If i had to do it all over, id probably either get that dark grey (whatever its called), white, or that dark maroon red. Love that color.

Honestly... If i lived in suburbs/city or didn't haul things all the time... It wouldn't be bad at all. But i have a gravel driveway and always have something in the bed.

ouch haha I went from a straight black 05 f150 to my 2012 metallic black f150 so it was easy to see the difference in how the tux black hides better.. I was 100% set on buying thee oxford white but they had a special going on the truck I bought for 7k less.. enough for me to deal with it

u should have bought the Bushwacker flares I just sold man haha but I agree with u. I haul often and eventually u will put a scratch or ding on the truck from stuff going in and out

Yeah that would not be the best environment I agree for a black paint job.

I want flares BAD... But Im saving for tuner before anything else. My big issue was having 12mm offset rims with 33x12 mickey Thompson radials on. That put more junk on my truck than i had hoped. Plus i had to test it out... After a night of testing... I came out he next morning and my truck looked like it had a hola skirt on. Guess i went though some cat tails

doesn't get much worse.. but I do usually have the baddest truck at any construction site so I guess it has its perks

BUT... Nothing better than a freshly washed black truck!!!!

I would do the flares first before u scratch or chip the body too bad! but that's just me. my wheels stick out a little bit so I bought the flares at a ridiculously cheap price but after I painted em I decided they were a little too much.. but when u go down a gravel road and hear all the debris hitting your doors it definitely hurts a little

[MENTION=45056]sterlingone[/MENTION] Thanks for that upclose shot of the paint. It looks really nice. And the top on your bed looks nice too.

Haha. Trust me any scratches that could have been made by the tires have been done. I've had them on basically since i bought the truck. The last year i put less aggressive tires on... But its usually too dirty to see any scratches
