Well it is time. I have been thinking for a while what I wanted. I was thinking of repainting black with red xtreme stripes. Then just black. Well I saw a beautiful M3 today and I found the color I want, Carbon Black. A BMW M series color. Here is a link to some good pics

It looks dark blueish at some angles and black at others. It is gorgeous!! I can get the paint for about $225 (3 quarts). Just need to get clear and finisher. My friend at work does painting on the side and said he could do a very nice job for $250-$300 and that includes removing the roof rack and door mouldings. He will put plugs in the roof rack holes (not noticeable) and fill the door holes properly. I am really looking forward to this. Anyone like the color?

Nope, just carbon black. I am replacing the grille and the bumper as well to get rid of any chrome trim. Ony thing metallic looking on the truck will be my wheels.
