Default Paint job!

I've got an 03 5.9 SLT that's recently had some issues...

For my next project, I'm thinking of getting the D painted. I've got a few rust spots (and two bad ones - one on my front left quarter from a windstorm a few years back and one on my rear gate from a bike rack's scratch).

It's currently Patriot Blue, but I'm not sure if I wanna stick to factory color... We had a 99 in Electric Blue, and boy do I love that color...

I'm just looking for suggestions here, should I keep it Patriot, go Electric, or just choose some other color?

Well ive always had a thing for Black cars . Pretty much any car in black looks awesome to me. But I've got dark blue with silver trim on mine and I love the look of it. Whatever gloats your boat go with it.

I talked to a few friends too, and here's the total list of suggestions:

Stock Colors:
Patriot Blue
Electric/ Intense Blue (although not available on the '03)
Chili Pepper Red
Black

Others:
Mack Truck Green (my buddy's Cummins is Mack Green and it looks damn good)
That one rust color was suggested too.


I'm leaning to the blue side of things, specifically electric blue, but I also do like the Patriot Blue and the red would do her justice too. I'm gonna let it sit for a few weeks before I make a big decision!

The blue on your truck reminds me of the same intense blue OEM color of my 1985 Dodge Shelby Charger turbo. Wished I still had that car with me today. it was a fun car to drive back then.

I honestly like the patriot blue the best, specifically bought both of mine in that color. My second favorite is the electric blue, those also look good.

+1 for black. Get some gunmetal wheels and smoke out the head and tail lights. Bad a$$
