I like it, but I wish it was a darker color (dark green, gray, brown...like a work truck).

I would have to agree here. I love the truck. But I think I saw too many Jada "For Sale" releases that looked very much like this color scheme and it played it out for me. Though white is probably the easiest to do a rust tone over and make the reddish brown color pop, so I can understand it on that level. But the disadvantage is that when you have an almost entirely rusty vehicle with a little bit white showing, it almost becomes a non-color, or seems unfinished. And where, that may be the entire point behind any project in progress, it just seems a little too neutral in this case.

Maybe a primer gray on most of the non-ruted parts of the cab, and green doors--as if they had been replaced in someone's last attempt a restoration.

Of course this adds a third color, which adds to cost.

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!
See what happens when giant red lichen attacks a truck?? Sucks all the color off the vehicle. I guess the people escaped and ran away?
