How's the black look in person? I debated on avalanche vs black for a long time. Went with black because for me it was the "safer" of the two choices. Congrats man.

Like you I chose black because it was "safe". I was contemplating on going with the Avalanche since it was exclusive to the Raptor but then I saw a G.T. 350 in a showroom and asked the salesman if that was the Avalanche grey.



He replied yes. Personally I didn't care for it at all, it looked more like a grey primer so I went with the black.



I just wish I had the opportunity to see the paint choices in person before picking a color. I do like the magnetic a lot from the pics I have seen.



The truck was fairly dirty but I have no complaints. You can't really go wrong with black. I'll post more pics when I get it home, although we are supposed to have rain all day tomorrow.

I have three close friends that got their black trucks diamond coated from a place in Austin.

After the coating their trucks are dust and water resistant. They literally go a week between washes and one guys truck is parked outside all the time. They always look freshly waxed. I was suspicious so I helped wash it one time and just power washed and then dried it with a standard towel and it looked perfect. No swirls. My truck will be going to this place for costing as soon as it comes in.

I couldn't put up with a black truck without it haha.

Good to know, too bad I'm nowhere near Austin. I'll check around and see if anyone in Maryland does this.



Black is a bitch to keep clean.



My 2000' F250 is sliver which always looked clean no matter how dirty but I wanted something different.

I liked the look of the black Gen 1's that I would see on occasion and that pretty much solidified my choice.
