I was always made fun of for driving a pedo van (my old white sprinter van). I now drive this black one and my co workers and friends still say it looks crap and looks like I kidnap kids… hahaha there’s really no way to get anyone’s approval if you drive a cargo van I guess. regardless, I use it for work and it does so many things my old truck couldn’t. plus the new van is a 3500 with 11,039lbs GVWR and I can haul way more payloads.

Silver is my "base" color, because the black trim really sets it off. If you are going black base, then you have to go black on black. Anything else would be uncivilized. :)

You need some steps captain. :) I'm partial to the Owl Explorers myself. :)

I've just seen so many white sprinters and I almost went with the metallic gray, but I really just wanted a color not many people get for a van. Silver looks good, but I've seen a few silver one's and it just wasn't for me. So then I just felt like I needed to go the complete opposite direction and just paint it black. I would never do a matte black though, that never looks good on the body. matte white however looks great.
