Hey guys,
Im getting ready to pull the trigger on a 2012 FX2 EB SCREW and cannot decide on a color! I am stuck between Race Red, Blue Flame Metallic and Oxford White.
I have searched every thread on here, google, other forums, etc. and still cannot decide.
Please help me decide by posting which one is your favorite and why. I am a detailing freak, so keeping the car looking clean VERY important to me and plays a big factor in the color I choose. Also, the truck will be getting some visual mods and will not look stock for too long, so take that into consideration.
All opinions are welcomed and appreciated!

I would recommend the Blue Flame or Race Red. I have an '11 in Race Red and I like the color. Red and blue are pretty easy to keep clean and tend to wear well with time. Black is about the worst truck color out there as it is very difficult to keep clean, your truck is an oven in the summer, AND it shows every little tiny scratch in the clear coat. White is second worst as it is also very difficult to keep clean. Red, medium blue, silver, medium gray, olive green, and medium green are good modern truck colors.

In my opinion, id go the race red. I have vermillion red myself, but I don't think vermillion red is available on fx2's anymore. I keep it waxed, so it stays pretty clean most of the time. Also my truck is an STX. But I did put harley lights in it. Here are some pics to give you an idea.

Although I have a Sterling Gray FX4 and love it, my vote would be that if it is an FX4 model then go for Race Red, if not an FX4 then go for the Blue Flame! The Blue Flame with chrome looks great, the FX4 in red looks great as well. The white trucks look more like fleet trucks to me unless of course its an FX4.

I have an FX4 in Sterling Grey and like it a lot, even though I'm pre-disposed to liking white F-150's like my last one (1990 vintage). I do believe I prefer the grey over white now.
In grey, with no chrome up front, the truck has something of a stealth look going on. Or maybe I've seen too many "ghost" cars with this colour / painted grill combo in the local police's fleet.
Yes, I've removed the FX4 sticker from the rear panels - I like the cleaner look. They come off easily, especially if the truck has been warmed by the sun a little.
