Want to know what a dumb post is? One that don't get posted.

Seriously though, if you want something truely unique, consider having some graphics printed up. Well, maybe, judging from your username that might not be a good idea... sand + graphics = shreded plastic :S

OK. So let's try a different approach...
It would help if you could narrow down to what style you want.
Simple (single or two-tone like RamKings), Tribal, Streetracer, Classic race, camo (urban or wooded), silhouetted, graffiti or Murial. There might be a few more.
Once I have an idea for a paintjob (not that I ever do any painting, just like to come up with ideas), I go to a few websites.

here's a few,
images.Google.com (obviously google, cause that's a time saver for most things)
http://www.deviantart.com/
carart.com has a nice flash-based "art studio" though it only has 2nd and 3rd gen Rams.

Hope this gives ya some good ideas.

i like the stock red or blue paint jobs. i also like the current colour of my truck but if i ever repainted it i will be painting it flat black because it is cheap and short box trucks look good in flat black.

Paint it day glow lime green with hot pink and orange accents, you will always be able to find it at anytime. Seriously though if you keep it simple it is much easier to keep that way as opposed to lots of little accents that will cause problems if you don't do constant maintenance.

Off white base with a thick red stripe down each side
