whats up guys, well as some of you know i was planning to sell my truck, after some thought and figuring, ive decided to keep the ole truck... since my paint job is pretty bad, ive got tons of scratched including a huge key mark from front to back that happened with the last owner..

so im looking into giving her an all new paint job and ive got a few ideas id like opinions on..

should i keep the original flame red?


or go with the darker red that comes stock on dodges


do a candy red


or dare to be different with a dark ford gray


im a big Red and Black fan... theyre my favortie colors and its most likely what ill do, but im undecided on which red... ive always liked the dark gray as well and think itd look pretty mean with black accents like i have now.. so im kinda torn and looking for opinions... thanks guys

 

I vote keep the flame red..it'd prob be cheaper that way anyways bc you can opt out of having inside the doors and such painted as you would have to have painted if you went with a different color

My favorite is the bright blue dodge has...

 

I like Candy Red, or metallic Charcoal Gray.

 

Keep the red.

You just don't get to see many red trucks from our era with a pristine paint job. Not to mention, if you get it done right you'll have a better finish than what you would have from the factory.

Candy red would be my next choice, but if you do that, I hope you like clay baring and waxing a lot since that color is swirl city. (All colors are, but that particular color will show them a lot more than most others.)

 

If you go another color other than what you have now either the inner door frames & under hood wont match or it will cost more to get those areas as well.
The candy you posted looks close (I like it btw) but candy will cost fair bit more.

 

i like the grey i think it would go good with your bumpers, albeit you will have to jamb out your doors and that would cost alittle more but i have never seen a clean 2nd gen ram like your in a dark grey i think it would be bad ***.

 

i didnt even think about inside the doors and under the hood and all that... seems like staying the same would be easiest.. i kinda in my mind convinced myself to either stay flame red or go to the gray... the darker red just doesnt strike me as much, and as indy said the candy will cost more.. problem is, i cant really imagine how the truck will look with the gray color, i tried to photo shop it but my skills are limited.. itd look tough i think, but its a big risk..

 

Keep it the same color will look better if you ever go to sell it, plus it looks pretty beast how it is with the red accents on the bumper to match it

 

you could always scuff up and black prime the under-hood/door jambs from a can.. it's not like that would be THAT noticeable.. I like the gunmetal gray... and that would go hand in hand with that as an option.. do it before you get it painted though.. It's fairly easy to maintain too afterward with some careful 'replacement' shots.. just make sure you have a good coat of wax on that rascals exterior before you go to 'touching up' the jambs/under-hood.

 

I'll say flame red. that candy red looks too ghetto for me. if you decide to change colors, hands down i will go Charcoal Gray with flame red pin stripes !!!!
