Default Ingot Silver or White Platinum?

Down to the wire. Last problem for me is color(heip)!!!! I'm torn between the Ingot Silver or the White Platinum Mettalic. I finally decided on the Lariet (whew) fully loaded
Screw.The question being, which is the more eye catching? Thanks.

I'm pretty partial to silver myself. I'm on my 4th silver f150, if addition to a silver ranger.

Both are great, but if you notice, most contractors drive white pickups. I have the Ingot Silver SCREW, my second silver truck. Stays cleaner longer and doesn't show the occasional scratch. I'm in the process of 86ing all my chrome to black. In my opinion, there's nothing sharper that a silver truck with subtle black accents. Good luck with your choice.

^^ What he said. White works well for other cars but frankly I don't want to drive around in a truck that looks like the sanitation departments. I also simply object to paying extra for paint. I ended up choosing silver over all the other colours because it looks good & as a plus it's low maintenance.

The silver has a slight color change to it. I believe it accents to body lines more than the white, but that is a bias opinion.

I like the darker silver a little better than the light silver. IMO, I think you should go with the White. Its a whole different kind of white than the ones the local construction company are using.

Are you referring to the Sterling Gray? That would have been my second choice, an awesome color.

If you can, go to your dealer and have them park these two colors next to each other....but do it in the direct sunlight.
I think that you will see that the Platinum White has many distinct "under colors" that lend the paint a unique depth and beauty.....yup, I've got the Platinum White and love it.....
