| Hilux paint recommendations? I've got a hilux body sitting here and a rogue elements drop bed kit and I'm trying to decide what color to paint it. Bed will of course be black. Not going to be an extreme build - bobbed bed, scx chassis, and a nice set of 1.55s or 1.9s...haven't decided. I really like tan but there are so many tan builds it's crazy. My next thought was orange or maybe flat black but I've seen several of those as well. Dark brown maybe? Recommendations? |

I just finished a Hilux with a REC drop bed. I went with Tamiya TS15 blue, polished it out with micro mesh & then dull coated it. I really like the way the dull coat looked, gave it a faded look on the polished blue. I posted some build pics of the bed assembly on tamiya crawlers if your interested: http://www.tamiyacrawlers.com/forum/...-a-Hilux-today |

Yeah I've been going through the hilux pic threads to find out which colors have been used more than others. Olive drab isn't too common...nothing like blue or tan.
