No livery for the Futo, Prairie, Penumbra or Mamba (couldn't try the rest as I don't have them).
And no sign of the free Revolter and Nightshark supposed to drop today as part of being on the Guest List.

In my opinion you want to avoid max armor on the 3 sales vehicles, maybe go with level 2 armor. With the Speedo level 3 armor applies a plow to the van, this plow is useless not helping to push away traffic at all, it increases the hitbox size of the vehicle and it's generally just in the way and hooks stuff. I got my armor at level 2 and it's way better. With the Pounder level 3 armor again gives you another completely useless plow, but worse again is level 3 armor leaves the Pounder with very little ground clearance, causing the truck to be able to get stuck extremely easily. I haven't used the Mule yet but I know from others testing it that again the plow is utterly worthless. Not sure if it has any other flaws through. I'd just avoid all the level 3 armor plating options all together. They seem to be more hassle then they are worth. Worst part of the plow on the speedo (and I assume the others) is that as it doesn't actually push anything out of the way, whenever you hit a car or anything else the front of the van the angled hit box on the front deflects you off to the side causing the van to change direction a small amount, makes driving it quite annoying.
Shame, because the level 3 Speedo armour looks pretty good as livery and paint that you put on the van is applied to the armour. Not so good on the trucks, where giant great black or grey lumps of armour are plastered all over they practically obscuring any paintwork.

You are aware that the armour adds explosive resistance during sale missions so you want maximum armour in case people come after you

Sadly not. Can't be stored in a hangar too, I believe.

Extra explosive resistance don't help if you can't move.
Besides I usually sell in low populated or solo public sessions anyway. Since I generally sell small 1 vehicle missions (or sometimes 2 vehicle on biker as even with 1 supply bar you can still get 2 vehicles), I'm not really making all that much from the 1% player bonus. And I'm generally running car exports or Haulage/Transporter a lot of the time, so if there are any jackasses in the lobby that'll come after you, I'm generally well aware of them before I make a sale.

I took a quick look and the level 2 Pounder armour comes with a very low hanging bull bar on the front, does that not cause similar clearance issues?

In a slightly unrelated note to what you're talking about, I want to say that upgrading the staff really makes a difference in maintaining the popularity.

Can't say I really bother with the popularity. 10k every 48 minutes is really negligeable, especially considering you gotta do public lobby missions to keep it up enough to get it.

I personally don't like watching the popoularity go down, but what I hate much more is that every "promoting" job only increases half a rectangle, so anything that helps me keep it in check is great by me

Level 3 armor gives the Pounder low ground clearance all around, allowing it to easily get high centered and completely stuck even on small objects.
If level 2 only has a low hanging front bumper then while that can still be annoying, it wouldn't be as bad. How much ground clearance around the sides does level 2 give the Pounder? I haven't looked at it carefully, but if level 2 would prevent you from being easily high centered, then that's the main thing.

Should be fine then, the side armour on the level 2 is all above the wheels.
Don't even know why it has armour covering the wheels, they are bulletproof anyway.
