Gharri30 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I have a 22 F250 Lariat with BAP on order in carbonized gray that I plan on putting a 4" lift on. I've never noticed how many in carbonized gray were around until I started this process and wait. I'm contemplating a change to antimatter blue while I still can. I'm no stranger to blue as my current truck (Titan) is a dark blue but noting like the antimatter. What do yall think? I'd really appreciate pics if anyone has antimatter blue with a lift and/or BAP. Google searches have turned up a bunch of generic pics along with mostly stock trucks. I can't go wrong either way. Just looking to make my own decision tougher ?.

tcritch3 Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 There will always be a lot of gray vehicles because people love neutral colors. The Antimatter blue is a good choice if you’re wanting one that’s not as common. Both colors look good though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though they look fantastic clean, I'm not a fan of black just from the showing dirt and scratches standpoint. JMHO or course. I've got an Anvil gray wrangler now that looks clean even when dirty. Hoping my new Carbo gray truck is the same way. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PineNut Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I have to say the Antimatter Blue is a stunning color. Unfortunately I live in the desert and it would be showing dirt within minutes of washing it.... I went with Carbonized Grey..... 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They definitely show the scrachtes which is why I opted to try something different than I normally do but that blue is drawing me in. 1 hour ago, PineNut said: I have to say the Antimatter Blue is a stunning color.

Would definitely have to have a good cleaning regiment for it. Was hoping someone had a nice lifted one with BAP I could l look at.

road turtle Posted February 22, 2022 Share Posted February 22, 2022 I love the look of anti matter in the sun. It just sparkles. Anything other than clean and shade, it looks black. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check out some YouTube videos of Akins Ford in Atlanta, I remember seeing a few trucks in Antimatter blue that were customs, one was an F150 and I'm pretty sure it had BAP or some custom badging similar to BAP. There are a few pics of Antimatter F350 KRs in my signature. Edited February 23, 2022 by 787Toolman spelling 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bodaway Posted February 23, 2022 Share Posted February 23, 2022 I saw an AntiMatter in the bright sun the other day and it looked nice, but any other time it looks too dark for me. I went with carbonized gray for the same reason as most, live on gravel road and it's always going to be dusty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to go back and look through for the antimatter in his videos. 42 minutes ago, Bodaway said: I saw an AntiMatter in the bright sun the other day and it looked nice, but any other time it looks too dark for me.

That and keeping it clean, which my current truck is blue but man do they look good when they're clean.

CGDonovan Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 I was going to suggest the tremor forum as well. There are quite a few nice pics of the AMB there. That's what I ordered, first time switching from a black truck since 2000. They are a pain to keep clean,but when they are clean they look the best!

wowens79 Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 I just ordered an F350 in antimatter. I’ve never seen on in the daylight in real life, just pictures. I did park next to one after dark, and it was under a light. It looks good on the side the light was hitting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

4thTimer Posted February 28, 2022 Share Posted February 28, 2022 (edited) I went to a dealership with some antimatter blue inventory and couldn't find them. I decided to go look at some stickers and there were some black ones until I got close and saw they were really blue. Not a bright sunny day but not dark either.

While I originally ordered Carbonized, I too started thinking I was seeing too many grays, so I change it to Antimatter a few weeks into my order. I like the changing color based on lighting, which I get that with my '16 Bronze Fire (which looks burgundy in some light, brown in other). If anything, I hope the darker color will motivate my lazy ass to get out the foam cannon a bit more frequently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
