Are you going to paint it and sell it? If not there won't be any return on your dollar.

What it looks like to you when it is done is all that counts, it's all subjective.

It's such a personal choice for the next owner I can't really see one being more desirable than any other. Paint it the color _you_ want it to be and keep it from rusting, there's the real benefit to the expense.

DITTO !! You paint it the color scheme YOU are happy with. As long as you paint it RIGHT, it doesn't really affect the sales price much.

Everyone has the right opinion, paint it so it makes you happy.

IMHO, I do allot of city and country driving so I chose to go 1 color instead of the camo pattern. I think it's less intrusive and intimidating to the city folk. But thats my opinion and well all know what an opinion is like...everyone has one.

I know when I look to buy a truck ain't nothing nicer than a nice crisp three color camo. If here were three deuces all mechanically the same it would have to be three color 1, OD 2, and tan third.

I like tan but it shows dirt and grease and where anything runs on it,the best selling one I think you didn't post, semigloss green. I have seen two 809 series trucks parked side by side at an auction and everyone liked the semigloss one better even though the 383 green was a much better truck running and body wise

It is your choice of color to prevent rust. I had a tan deuce, the replacement truck, an M998 is also tan. I prefer tan as it is the color of the trucks used in the sand box, tan stands out in parades as most of the other vehicles are painted camo or OD. Tan paint does show more dirt and stains.

Tan does not show Haspin mud and dust as much.

;-)

Still, like my Brother says, "pretty sells".
