calling all charcoal, gunmetal, platinum grey or any grey or silver pics

I am going to be doing my truck in a gunmetal grey or platinum grey, looking for a real metallic grey that pops, anyone have any pics of what they went with or what they have seen.

Are you after something like the Lexus's have? Or even like the VW golf dark charcoal colors?

Following along, I tried searching for this paint color last year but it wasn't exactly what I was looking for.

I'm kicking around the idia of two toneing my 62 . Instead of the white top paint it charcoal metallic like the truck above. Then maybe orange metallic on the lower body.

Re: calling all charcoal, gunmetal, platinum grey or any grey or silver pics

Keep em coming, I have been checking out the Dipmyride.com website lately, since I am spending a pile on the truck I may hold off on paint till next year, this site seems to have lots of cool colours and things you can do with plastidip, I was thinking I would get my truck to primer and do a gunmetal grey pearl plastidip paint job. I've had the stuff on the front of my car over the chrome for a year and it has held up great. Anyone considering this chime in or know of anyone who has.

Really nice truck. These silver, charcoal trucks look pretty sweet.
