I'm very close to buying an '02 Harley Davidson F-150 but am split on which color to go with. Here are my thoughts:
I absolutely HATE the vinyl flames they put down the sides of the bed on these trucks. If I bought one in DSG, they would come off immediately. If I bought one in Black, I could possibly deal with it, not sure yet. Either way, removing vinyl that have been on paint for 6 years may require some wet sanding -- and performing this on the metallic DSG will likely be easier and turn out looking better than Black. But it could only need some compound as I'm looking to buy a low mileage truck (less than 50k)
DSG: Looks great in the sun. Metallic flake is beautiful when it's clean and HIDES SCRATCHES / SWIRL MARKS / WATER SPOTS. My '03 Mach 1 was DSG and I loved the color.
Black: Never owned a black vehicle and really have never had any intentions to until now. These trucks look INSANE cleaned up with the chrome 20s. But keeping them clean is the issue. I don't have the patience to wash the truck 2-3 times a week. Black is beautiful when its clean, but will show its ass with some scratches / swirl marks / water spots - the total opposite of DSG (IMO). I'll be towing my Crystal White '94 Cobra on an open trailer behind this tow vehicle / DD -- so I think the black would look better in front of it.
I need some suggestions!?? :rockon:
