What would you be willing to pay for a paint color?

  • From all of us at Scout Motors, welcome to the Scout Community! We created this community to provide Scout vehicle owners, enthusiasts, and curiosity seekers with a place to engage in discussion, suggestions, stories, and connections. Supportive communities are sometimes hard to find, but we're determined to turn this into one.

    Additionally, Scout Motors wants to hear your feedback and speak directly to the rabid community of owners as unique as America. We'll use the Scout Community to deliver news and information on events and launch updates directly to the group. Although the start of production is anticipated in 2026, many new developments and milestones will occur in the interim. We plan to share them with you on this site and look for your feedback and suggestions.

    How will the Scout Community be run? Think of it this way: this place is your favorite local hangout. We want you to enjoy the atmosphere, talk to people who share similar interests, request and receive advice, and generally have an enjoyable time. The Scout Community should be a highlight of your day. We want you to tell stories, share photos, spread your knowledge, and tell us how Scout can deliver great products and experiences. Along the way, Scout Motors will share our journey to production with you.

    Scout is all about respect. We respect our heritage. We respect the land and outdoors. We respect each other. Every person should feel safe, included, and welcomed in the Scout Community. Being kind and courteous to the other forum members is non-negotiable. Friendly debates are welcomed and often produce great outcomes, but we don't want things to get too rowdy. Please take a moment to consider what you post, especially if you think it may insult others. We'll do our best to encourage friendly discourse and to keep the discussions flowing.

    So, welcome to the Scout Community! We encourage you to check back regularly as we plan to engage our members, share teasers, and participate in discussions. The world needs Scouts™. Let's get going.


    We are Scout Motors.

The other thing I find frustrating is when certain colors are locked to certain trim levels.

This would irritate me greatly, especially since this is a direct to consumer model it's not like the colors are truly locked behind dealer availability.

And if there's nothing I really like I'll probably go for a 0$ color and take it to a paint shop!
 
My suggestion for Scout - try and get a custom paint shop set up in the supplier park. Offer the Scouts in a few standard paint colors for typical buyers and provide a link to the paint shop's price sheet. Or get a custom wrap shop in the supplier park for those folks that want even more options.

Also add graphics to the supplier park. All the different stripes I see in the Scout Encyclopedia would be awesome!

I'd rather Scout not offer any boring colors at all, and have what would normally be the lower-tier of upgraded colors as the standard option for no charge. Do a nice pearl, creamy white as your base white. Do a richer metallic black, etc. Actually, I'm okay doing away with the generic black, white, silver and dark gray altogether. Just don't do a boring palette that look like all of the other manufacturers.

There are people who want white, black and grey. I think all blacked out SUVs look sick as @Colton_Scout80 likes to say. My issue is by the time I buy my Scout my Wrangler will be 15. I’m ready for a color.

I really think they can offer those three core colors and the have colors that represent all the colors of the rainbow.
 
Very situationally specific for me - As a stand alone option, my limit is $0 unless I truly hate the "base" colors.

But I have to weigh it against the cost of all the other options I'm going to want vs. my overall budget. I don't know what my overall budget is going to be in 2027/28 but if I get all the other "real" stuff i want, and there's a color I really like still within my budget, then, yeah, I'll pay it. I'm only going to do this once, and plan to drive it 10+ years, so might as well get what I want.

So, at this point I don't know

I’m back to charging more for B/W/S and G and let those people pay more for a change 🤣

Blackout is my dream but too much cleaning required

Sounds like a plan. Thinking very similarly
