The blue does look great but i was put off after looking at the gap between the cab and the tub or whatever you call them in the US ? Tray , Back ? the front of the tub is not clear coated and when i walked down the truck i could see flat paint in this gap .
This would irritate the crap out of me and would end up removing the tub to clear coat .
The white didnt stand out as much and its rarer here.
I am so confused on what you mean by the tub…. Was this on an actual model or by a internet generated picture of the units… they pretty good and making sure there is no gap in colors on the trucks.. so yeah I am really not knowing what you talking about sadly

I am thinking he means the cab and the bed(tub) that it is painted but just not clear coated.

if he is talking about the bed… most people like me will put a bed liner in the bed as it’s better for the integrity of the truck… I personally use a spray in bed liner

Yeah but I am not seeing what’s driving you insane.. I mean if it’s white… that’s what the color will be in between the cab and the bed of the truck.

As its white its not so noticeable however when my blue raptor arrived it was very noticeable as the truck was nice shiny blue but the front of the tub was matt blue as they had not clear coated it so when you walk down the truck you notice the gap between the cab is a different color.

Seen the shelter green in person. If I would have seen this color before i ordered this would have been it. It’s awesome in person, more of a bronze/green to me than the poopy green it seems in pictures. Oh well carbonized gray it is!

Thanks for posting that. I'm waiting for my shelter green Raptor to move into BUILT. Like someone else posted, all this waiting gives you too much time for 2nd guessing. What you described is exactly what I'm hoping for.

Man, I am glad you posted this. I have been worried it would look like a fresh pile of cow poop.
I'm half assed color blind anyway so I guess it really wouldn't matter too much. Thanks

Still not a color for me, but saw a new f150 raptor in shelter green and I was surprised how much better it looks in person. Looks way more yellow tinted online. I can see why people chose it now.

I bet you like it when u see it on your truck.
