I was also considering doing a two tone, but I dont want to get too flashy. I think im gonna stay with a solid color. I also cant decide if I want to convert to a sport front end or stay with the chrome

I sure don't regret going with a sport front end on my truck...

They built a car on pimp my ride, the green they painted it looked kinda cool, I'd like to see what looks like on a dodge. So my vote is green. Yes I know they build stupid junk but the color was kinda cool.

I'd stick with stock silver. I like my silver truck, great color on there, especially when sun comes out and it's washed/waxed

My favorite factory color was green with a driftwood stripe down the middle of each side.I think that was available 96-99.I tried to find that color with a tan interior when I was looking but they are hard to find.

Mine was silver and now it's blue. Whatever color you go, make sure you do that ugly grey bit on the bottom half of the bumper. It makes a world of difference to paint that body color.

Since I painted the bumper, I no longer crave the sport front end.

Pics in my Gallery.

JoeCanuck-
Painting the gray plastic on the front bumper does make your truck look more attractive.A partial sport front end.Looks good.I like that shade of blue.IMHO much more attractive than the silver.

I can't remember the shade of blue we used. It's an Endura color...brilliant blue or something like that. I think it's actually a Freightliner color so it has more and larger metallic flake than normal auto paint.

I was originally going to redo the silver but I sanded so much I decided to go a color I really wanted.

I'm definitely happy with the results.

If you look at post #9 of this thread - Dakota had amber fire for a couple years.Mine was a 2000.It was a sport with black bumpers & accents.IMHO very sharp

That would be the only one around for quite a distance I bet, and the girls would love it, only the girls. I think im gonna stay with some more conventional colors
