Painting my Dakota
I used my (non-existent) Paint Shop Pro skills to do this puppy up. This is basically what I want my truck to look like after I paint it this summer. How do you like it? Any thoughts?
A nice red (not the weird red that I did up), with black to make the front end look like the Sport version. Plasti-dip the moulding, the area below the moulding, bumpers, and the center of the wheels. I might add a black stripe just below the windows to break up the red a bit.

It's a good look if you're looking for sporty! I don't like the look of the painted grille on our trucks for some reason. Every other truck I love a black grille. Maybe if the grille was paint matched black to the body.
I did this in about 10 minutes in Photoshop. I want to get 2nd gen Dakota rims and black them out anyway, but for, I could not decide between blacked rims or not. Opinions?
What it looks like NOW:
Black <3:
Chrome all the way!

Oops, missed where you said you were doing it all black, thought you were still going with red. Black on black will look good, but I hate any other single color combo of body/trim.
Thanks, it improved the looks big time to me. Still need to make a paint pen with the leftover blue so I can do the lettering on the grill in blue.

Colin is doing his truck in black, I'm still doing mine in red. haha.
Colin, I would almost leave your wheels as they are, as the black centre cap works just fine.
I like your truck with the black grill. I'll paint the grill black and see if I like it. I think the grill needs to be replaced anyway....I'm missing some anchor points on it.
