VOTE: Full bed liner paint job colors! (Photoshop)

Decided to make this a separate thread to my bumper build, because It's a totally different project.

Okay, Okay, before you hate on the idea of raptor-lining my whole truck, just know that I love the look and that's all that matters, right? Anyways, I still can't decide on a color because to me the handful of colors I've narrowed down to are all good.

I've taken the liberty of photoshopping some of the front-runners onto my truck, an endeavor that gobbled up my whole afternoon.

Anyways, here are the finalists that I want some input on. Use the Poll to vote on your favorite! (I'd love to hear from someone who's done it before too)

STOCK:


DARK BLUE:


LIGHT BLUE:


GRAY BLUE:


DESERT SAND:


DARK GREEN:


DARK GRAY:


LIGHT GRAY:

I like the look of that grey-blue color but the light grey got my vote because of the current color of your truck. Not sure if it would bother you, but personally the color difference on the door jams and everything would drive me crazy. Just a thought.

You mentioned that there will be naysayers and you don’t care since you like the look...

...but you’re still soliciting opinions...so...


Don’t do it. It’s hideous.

Thundercloud metallic is personally one of my favorite colors from ANY car/manufacturer, but if you're dead set on changing it I voted for blue/gray, dark gray and dark green. Blue/gray or dark green would probably look best covered in mud.

If you wrote that meaning that I should keep it Thundercloud metallic, it's actually anthracite metallic. It looks anywhere from gray to brown to green under different lighting. Mostly brown.

I do love the color that it is, but the roof is badly faded and the hood would cost too much to re-prep and color match ($800) especially when the roof will still look faded. I just can't stand the fading roof and the white hood and I have a limited budget. Those are the other influences for why I'm going all-in with something like this.

I think any color I go for will clash with the door jams, the anthracite metallic looks pretty green there. I might just do the door jams too, but I don't know, I haven't yet decided if it's worth the extra work. But yea totally something to consider if the color is drastically different. I wish I was just starting from black lol

Have you considered just bedlining the hood, roof, rocker panels/lower doors (up to the bumper-line/lowest body line), bumpers, and fenders?

Just a thought. You could preserve the Anthracite Metallic for the most part, but contrast it with a satin black or something. You'd solve the color-match issue, plus it would be cheaper than doing the whole truck. (And I personally think it would look way better.)

Anthracite Metallic is one of the best colors imo, and I think it would lend itself very well to a two-tone scheme with a matte or satin black.

EDIT: forgive the horrible paint job (ha! MSPaint, that is...)

I was going to vote "no bedliner" but guess it's not an option.

Was eventually going to take mine to rhino liners and try to get them to color match the imperial jade mica.

stripes like this could look cool if done right... (it's hard to get the angles right in photoshop) Makes the black hood transition a little better with the fenders I think. Also a bit of a throwback to the OG 4Runners with decals

This is the right choice. Throw on some clear corner lights and it would look super solid
