Did you paint in yoru own bedliner?

I completely agree, accent it with black, althought I wouldn't personally do racing stripes on a 4X4. But I would powder coat everything from chrome to black.

I think black racing stripes would be sweet if you do that color. Maybe you should paint it a really rich dark royal blue color with black racing stipes, that be even cooler. haha as for the mustang thing thats funny. Just put a decal...deekal on your truck sayin "Not A Mustang" lol.

But "emerald green" is a beautiful colorhaha jk! i liek it!!!

i hate to tell you guys but i am getting a mustang in a few months, keeping the dakota though. just want something that goes REALLY fast instead of just fast. so dont hate me. i have seen a couple of these truck in blue and it looks ok, i really think that orange would make people s*** themselves. with the black R/T stripes of course

So I am definatley going to paint matte black stripes and such if I go with that color. I was thinking if I do go with that color, I would paint the middle indention of the tailgate between the taillights matte black, and continue it down the side of the truck in a similar style to the old barracuda stripes. The when I do the motor swap, I'm going to spell out "408 STROKER" on each edge of the hood in matte black and paint the entire middle of the hood matte black.

I'm going to try and get a good picture of the truck that will work well in photoshop and do up the entire planned paint job, but right now the truck is caked in mud, so I gotta clean it first :P

As for the bedliner, I did the roll-on Herculiner bedliner. I did the bedliner before I painted the truck, so instead of trying to break off the paint line, I pained the top edge of it... here is what it looks like right now (same picture before I rendered it)...
