Your truck. It's depreciating as we speak. Screw it up however you desire.

Nothing about plastidip can screw up a truck. Removeable and easy to use. May not be a ideal for some, but maybe it is for others. Hope he doesn't run because of that one.

X2 that was a little overkill lol

On the question, black would probably look better than the grayish color it is now. I say go for it. Are your wheels dipped?

If you dipped your wheels black then I would probably go for it.
