TAN vs GREEN paint...
I am trying to deiced what color I should paint my M1009 when I get it from govliq. (On day 75 since it was sent to BC)
I am still torn between the 3 color camo, the green, or the tan.
I am heavily leaning towards a desert storm paint job like the one pictured below (I think that one belongs to a Lonestar MVPA member).
I live in South Texas...do you think the truck would be less hot with the tan paint scheme instead of the green or camo?

That 1009, a 3 color 1009 and a green 1009 all were at the LSMVPA meeting last Wednesday. We all had wet shirts when we got out. There might be a slight difference while parked or sitting in traffic, but when it is 90 plus degrees outside and high humidity. Any non air conditioned vehicle is going to be hot.
Now, if you are adding a/c and plan to leave the windows up all the time. Never crack a window when parked. Then the lighter color might actually make a difference.
I wouldn't base color choice on temperature. I would go with what you like best and body condition. Tan doesn't hide dents all that good. Green and 3 color don't show even big dents until you are almost touching them. How straight is your truck?

Tan should be a bit cooler, but, as BARRMAN says, the difference will be minimal. I recommend tan just because there are fewer tan trucks out there.

I prefer 3 color, because you can't tell when it's dirty.

color
I have bobbers in green and in tan here in South TX. The tan is cooler to the touch than the green in the summer heat. Not really much difference inside... a pizza oven is a pizza oven no matter what color it is.
