Default color matching

Could anybody give me some tips on color matching my truck? I am wanting to do the front and back bumpers, grille piece, and around tail lights. Thanks

Get you build sheet. I think there is a thread on how to do so in the DIY section. That will have the paint codes for the original factory paint, take that to any body shop supply place, and they can mix it up for ya. Or, you could get a rattle can from the parts store.

an easier way would be to call your local dodge dealer with the vin# they'll have it to you in a few minutes, vice email, it will take anywhere from 1 week to 4 to get the build sheet.
