Midnight black metallic

[GG5thGen]

My wife has a black metallic RX350. It's hard to keep it from looking dirty but when it is clean, it's beautiful.

Hey! Looking at a 2019 midnight black metallic off road premium. Do you guys have pictures of the flake? Any pictures of black 4runners welcome! Thanks!

Here is Mine...

I got the MBM because I didn't care for the red or silver or grey colors. I usually buy everything black. my clothes, my motorycles, my dog, my outdoor gear, you name it. For some reason I'm not real stoked on the black on my T4R. Would have much rather had the cement grey or one of the TRD Pro blue colors. and I don't even like blue. I just like those flat colors. considering getting it wrapped or maybe painted because I'm not super into the color.

Got me a 2019 MBM, and I love the color! Matches my GLA250, and once I got the windows tinted the windows (5%B and 35%F)... I just... it is unbelievable!

Have you ever owned a black vehicle? They look nice on the lot when they are clean, but they are an absolute nightmare to keep clean, and the slightest imperfection sticks out like a sore thumb.

Every little chip, scratch, and swirl mark is going to be super visible and drive you crazy.

I owned a black Xterra for 12 years. It is a truck, if you are cool with showing your scars go for it. If you want a perpetually clean, pretty mall-crawler go for a different color.

I own one and after the first trip up a Forest Service rd, it’s covered in scratches. Luckily it’s only in the clear coat. Then again, I bought it to be used off road. Like others have mentioned you have to be up close to notice the flakes. Looks amazing when it’s clean but that doesn’t last long, even being garage parked.

Same here. Would have loved cement or quicksand but settled on black out of what was offered and I do like it. Non-pro colors on the 4runner are lame. The Tacoma has us beat in that department. Even the Tundra (like the taco) offers better colors. How hard is it to offer them on the 4runner??

Sure but for that one hour before the storm..its the best colour.

For those who dont wash it..white or silver are the easiest to keep looking clean.

Meanwhile..back to 5 coats of hand wax...slowly applied.. rubbed and buffed..just to last 30 minutes before the crud takes over.

Ive owned many black cars..after each one I say no more!! Never again..

Yeah right.. Black looks good when clean. ainkiller:

Bought my 2017 in Midnight Black on Monday.
Color is one of the least important things to me. This one just happens to be black.
It's always going to be dirty because I live in rural AZ.
Last night it had a thick coat of dust on it, after the dealer had just detailed it. This morning it rained and washes the dust off. Now it's covered in mud because our dirt roads wash out.

Do you happen to live around Havasu? That looks just like the one that I traded in about 2 weeks ago.

I hear ya, my old ZJ was black, I bought it when it was only 3 years old, and after the first trail scratches I stopped caring about it, especially after it passed ten years old.

Let's be honest though, most people buying new 4R's are using them for exactly that purpose, a pretty mall crawler. Not many people are going to drop 40k on a vehicle then purposely go scratch the hell out of it.

Me, unless it's a dedicated trail rig, I want my stuff to look reasonably nice without much effort. That's why I like my current silver 4R. Not super exciting color, but even when it's dirty it looks fairly clean, and the scratches and whatnot are not easily visible.

Like I said, the Jeep wasn't a big deal, but I nearly drove myself insane trying to keep my black 98 T/A clean. Washed and waxed that thing at least weekly.

The salesman assisting me was frustrated.
Salesman: "What color?"
Me: "don't care"
S: "Moonroof". Me: "nope".
S: "Navigation". Me: "Don't care".
On and on...
Too bad no one sells a stripped down model of anything anymore.
Granted, a/c will be nice next summer. My pickup doesn't have a/c. 120°+ driving with the windows down, people look at me funny. They don't realize that my dash doesn't even have a/c vents.
So the color is not even a concern.
