It may look cool on some older cars and trucks, but rust is metal cancer. I will go to extremes to make sure my XB doesn't ever get any. The older cars and trucks had much thicker sheet metal and could survive a little surface rust, but new car don't , and even a little surface rust will eventually eat right through and leave a hole. Now that is not cool. (or is that a new trend too?)

Rust holes in the name of weight reduction? Extra cooling?

Yeah, the Gothbox looks good, as does the box all in chalkboard green, and even the box in bright yellow Rhino bed liner.
(I've also seen one of the 4x4s around here in random mixed colors of bed liner - it actually looked not only very interesting, but very good, and I'm sure that in an off-road environment having a thick coat of nearly indestructible bed liner on the body is better than a thin coat of paint...)

Ive seen an old Suburban covered in yellow linex. That would be a cool paint job but the only downside would be the weight. But my favorite plus would be that anyone can key your car and there would be no scratch.
