Default Repainting the truck...what color!?

So since I have had my truck the paint has looked terrible. The previous owner got it repainted, and it must have been either a diy or Macco job because its faded everywhere and the door sils and engine bay are still the original color maroon. I was thinking about the new Ford color, Sterling Grey Metallic. I think it looks good and would go well with the blacked out theme of my truck. Any ideas? Thanks

I've seen a dark green on black and that looked really really good, also blue on black looked good.

But that grey does sound nice

Well the plan is to make my truck a Raptor wanna be in a sense. I want to get the new paint and get the Raptor graphics on the bed and a prerunner bar up front. So I am not sure if I should keep the Raptor colors and do the grey that they come with stock or just go with whatever color.

I agree. I've always wanted to see a white raptor with dark blue graphics.
