Haha!! Ran into a guy years ago in 28. He had his kids walking in front of him clipping branches.

I saw the aftermath of this in 12a years ago. A road we went do the day before had branches that would scratch a truck. The next day it was all trimmer back so someone could get in with less scratches.

First scratch is the only one that hurts. I made it about a year on my new truck before I pin stripped it. Wax it and a good detail will go a long ways. 

What color? 

It is gun metal grey. I don't expect no scratches, but want to know if something can be applied before a hunt to help prevent/minimize the scratch when you clean it up after.

Nothing can prevent scratches. Wax and ceramic will help but won’t prevent. It’s either gonna be a truck or it’s gonna be a grocery getter. I’ve never paid todays prices for a vehicle but every truck I’ve ever had is a truck. I’m not easy on them but I maintain them. When it’s time for them to go I let them go. Vehicles aren’t an investment, they’re a necessary expense.

My job requires I have a vehicle that looks respectable so I have to compromise. I can't have it all nasty scratched to heck, but if I can get a decent amount of it to buff out that is ok with me to have some scratches.

Look up 3M clear vinyl wrap

Buy my tahoe or RZR and beat one of those instead.

I would say wrap it then .... when it starts looking bad re wrap it and you paint well stay nice.
