Should I color match the shell?

How much should I expect it to cost? Nearest Maaco is about an hour away

 

No

 

I would vote yes and I think most places I’ve seen are $5-700 for a fiberglass shell paint.

 

If you paint it, will it "match" or be red? Since you mentioned Maaco.

If it were forrest green or baby blue, then I might consider it, but it's white, which is a complementary color.

I wouldn't paint it because I don't consider it a mis-match and there is the possibility that painting it will be a shade or two off and that will really look off, so I wouldn't.

 

No. Buy food.

 

Doesn't look bad as it is, your TRD lettering is white, rims are a similar shade... it matches! Maybe get more white accents on your truck like lettered tires or white rims; Or white out the badges.

 

I like to stand out from the crowd, but not in that way. I would color match.

 

I'd color match it.

 

I have a lunar rock '21 and bought a white shell for it. wasnt happy with it so i had it vinyl wrapped a flat black, so it matches the trim/fenders on the truck. turned out great and looks great. i found that to be much easier to do than trying to find a color that matches lunar rock. so honestly, i would keep it white or go black before trying to find a color that matches your current paint because theres a small chance itll be identical, especially at Maaco

 

For $150 you can get all the supplies (other than air compressor) necessary to spray the topper with Rhinoline or whatever your preferred bedliner is. Just tape it off good, scuff it up a bit, and spray away. I bought an off-color topper about 4 years ago and sprayed it with bedliner - all good so far. You could spray is black or even get something closer to the red for the same price.

 

I think white steelies would look sweet with that combo

 

Or just plastidip it. experiment with different colors and if you don't like it, peel it off

 

Yes. Mismatched toppers are ugly.

 

Also consider a vinyl wrap, although that might cost as much as paint these days.

 

And won't last as long. Wraps generally aren't the best in terms of cost effectiveness in the long term.

 

Color match.

 

Hell no

 

Trade for a white hood!

 

Monstaliner it and match the paint with the correct tint or a color of your choosing. I think the white looks fine. I did a satin black on my MGM.

White Steelies would look awesome!

 

your truck looks good as it is.
if you want to paint it, still do a completely differnt color if you're not satisfied with red/white combo.

the mismatched topper colors give them a cool Hotwheels/RC truck look
