I could go with an actual grey after primer. Then a clear coat over that

I'm gonna do just a grey primer and then a flat top coat over it. Then bed liner along the wheel wells and rocker panels.

And if you do a top coat, make sure it says it it won't turn yellow.

Still waiting for someone to create a 'snow' or 'arctic' multicam pattern...I would jump on that. Something like this for snow and ice.

Worked something up in photoshop to try and duplicate this, I'll keep you posted.

Desert sand color, to each their own. (How about glow in the dark?)
