I honestly think these are one of the ugliest, dumbest things in existence. I have yet to see a single 6x6 and think - damn that looks good. I saw a 6x6 Ram roll across the block Saturday too...just don't understand!

I was talking about actual paint color directly from the manufacturer.
I hear ya, but I think part of the appeal of that color is the satin finish. I do not see many manufacturers doing that finish well. Even the new Defender in satin is a wrap. I like that color as well, but I am not sure I would like it in Gloss.

Cool truck, but not a Gladiator. That's a JK based conversion with the Durham Motorsports front end.

huh looks like a gladiator to me... But you are totally right.

100% a JK. fenders, door handles, no body line, notice the space between the bed and cab and compare that to a JT, etc.

There’s nothing particularly hard or difficult about painting a vehicle with Matt paint. My Triumph came from the factory Matt black. Taking care of it properly is a different process but the procedure incolved in the painting process basically the same as any other paint.
