Cactus Grey does that too minus the metallic of course.

I love cactus grey! However my neighbor has a cactus grey bronco and I didn’t wanna be twinning with him. Haha

Got my truck yesterday, got my rims and tires on last night and sticker removed this morning.

Sick!! Looks great! Ironically my buddy also has a TRX and is going to sell his for a RR after he took my RR for a rip. He loves the TRX but won’t fit in his garages. Up in NH owning a truck you can’t fit in the garage sucks with the snow. He somehow got a RR in New England for MSRP. But friends of a dealer. He’s picking it up next week.

Yea, I love my TRX, no real plans of selling it. But its not idea For a daily, which is what my Bronco has been, but the Ranger is meant to take over as my daily, I tend to need at least a small pickup bed quite often. The Ranger really ticks a lot more of my daily need boxes than the Bronco.

Still not 100% sure I am selling the Bronco just yet, I still really like the Bronco too.
I like to give any new daily a few months to make sure I really like it before cutting loose anything I know I like. If the Bronco starts setting a parked in the garage the majority of the time not getting any use, I will likely sell it.

I shot a couple short videos of the Raptor after the sticker delete this morning.

I’m not a stickers fan either, but for some strange reason I think they look great on some colors; however, they just don’t fit well with shelter green.

I think silver and possibly the grey blue colors are about the only ones I have seen that really look good with the stickers, I think the RR looks great regardless with or without stickers. But I am just not really a sticker guy, also not likely to ever buy any really bright or loud colors. I have pretty much always bought either solid gloss black or solid gloss white. I really hate metallic black or metallic white.
As I have gotten older I tend to stick with white most of the time since it’s a lot easier to care for compared to my black vehicles.

The one thing that will suck with Shelter Green Metallic is going to be matching and blending paint. My Thunder Grey Chromaflair CTS-V was a challenge with trying to match my aftermarket hood. The sharp lines and color changing angles helped hide a lot of that but I'm not so sure the Raptor will have that luxury. I debadged that car with the exception of the V badges. Same with the Raptor, keeping all the Raptor ID's and didn't get tje graphics, no other badges to delete. Not a fan of the graphics on the Shelter Green but on others it seems required and looks better. For some reason I feel the RAPTOR sticker delete makes her looking naked and a bit plain and blends in with the rest of society. Which is funny because when I ordered mine, I did the graphic delete and was disappointed the Raptor sticker was not deleted too. Now I'm very glad it was not, IMO.

I don't think Shelter Green is really going to be that awful to paint match, especially with today's technology.

The color that will suck is Azure Gray tri-coat simply because it's a tri-stage paint and even with today's tech for paint matching, tri-coat paints are still a pain.
It mostly comes from the pearl/metallic coat sprayed over the base coat color and how it can (and does) change the color tone.

That makes sense, the Thunder Gray has that issue big time.

I asked a friend for some renderings of different placement/colors on mine. Not sure but the good thing is if you don't like it, you pull it off! Like the door placement maybe in Code Orange to work with the interior.
