hey so i found someone that paints of the side for extra cash, going to find out how much it will cost to pait the truck a different color, if i dont stay with red, what color do you think i should paint it? i was thinking silver or maybe black. The only thing is I'm NOT changeing the color of the interior so the color has to go with a red interior. what do you think?

 

I think black is the best looking colors for these 1st gen Dakotas.

 

I would recommend an older Mopar color.

Take your pick.


Too many black/silver vehicles running around these days. I like to be different.

 

sassy grass green I wanna paint my 88 dak that colour. its either that or plum purple.


black is a hard colour to paint. you will notice all the improfections unless the guy is an expert painter.


I would go sassy grass green with a flat black hood and a flat black bed stripe.

 

i was only thinking about those colors so that i wouldnt have to chagne the interior

 

i did not really like the maroon on mine. but did not want to paint the jambs and engine compartment, so i sprayed the whole truck in black and taped off the stripes and came back with the color. It looks really deep now because of how transparent new paints are. Mabey that is an idea, just dont copy me, lol.
