that looks like a lot of detail work you did on the crew cab (nice work btw) so I'd use a lighter color, even white, to showcase the work.

did you make the headlights or is that not the tamiya f350? those look much better than the lensed ones I usually see...

i like the suede gray as it sits now, but it looks like you have too much detail to leave that rig in primer.

something close to the gray/ silver you have now would be nice.
perhaps a light metal flake.

Copper, burnt orange...something like that.

Replace the beadlock rings or get new wheels.

Some of these in 1.9 would be sick

Ummmm, thats gonna stink. Tamiya copper is a pretty sweet color IMO. You did a kickass job on the body.

Yes, just let it cure for two or three weeks then put a lacquer over it.

Testors high-gloss would work.
