Yeah, it does get dirty easily, I know because my F250 was black. But it looks **** good when washed and waxed. My brother tried to preach to me about this because he owns a black F150 and I politely reminded him that I owned a black truck loooong before he did and for a lot longer than he has. Black doesn't suck anymore than the dark green that is now or any other dark color such as burgundy or navy blue. I figure since the green I have now shows dirt just as bad as Black that when I paint it I'll just paint I black because I like it better.
I was going to do silver but I have tan interior and that would look goofy. I might would do red, but I like black better. White is definitely out, just not my style. Looks too much like a fleet truck the .

If I was going to do it, Id use gm paint code WA8555. It is the most true black oem paint code. Meaning it has the least mixed other colors into the black toner. I use it for the hot rods and bikes I paint all the time. It has a rich color and if done by a professional 1 coat #7 sealer 3 coats base 3.5 coats clear cut buff polish. The truck needs to be strait and true before paint though 80% of a good black paint job is in the detail prep work before spraying. And being a color gm has used for years and years if you needed touch up its readily available.
