blue is expensive......but a color change is MORE expensive. Think about all of the stuff they have to paint........in the doors, under the hood, etc. F that! might as well just buy a white truck. lol

uh yeah hahaha, I say if you plan on keeping the truck for a looooong time, then yeah switch colors, but if it were me, I'd either leave the paint alone or just touch it up and then spend the rest of the $$ on either lowering/lifting/level it like you've been wanting to do for a while now

Touch it up or buy another truck. lol

On my last truck I had to have an entire side repainted (bought it with some body damage), so I decided to have the entire thing painted and changed to Bermuda Blue (the color on the Tahoe Z71s that looks blue/green depending on the light). It was ok from a distance but if you got close then it looked like crap in some areas. Granted, most of that is probably due to the shop not doing something right, but still, not worth the hassle to do again for me. Oh, and instead of coming out blue it came out more purple really...yuck. I only kept it like 6 months after that.

Should be just the body. Doing in the engine compartment would be a P.I.T.A unless the motor and all the harness' were out.

Keep the factory and focus on getting the exterior mods you have in your mod list thread and then think about a touch up or whole color change when you need to paint the pieces.
