Default What do you think of this paint scheme?

First off, let me say thanks to S. Weigel for his awesome photoshop skills.

All right, I'm going to be doing a lot to the Dodge this year to fix it up and make it my own. I have the rims and tires already on order so they should be on next week but it will probably take me all year to get the rest done. So let me know what you think. There are a few more things I'd do that aren't on the photoshop. I would do blacked out lights and hood scoop too. And also I'm going to find some decal to put on the back of the bed in black, black diamond plated bed rails, and an SRT-10 spoiler (maybe), it is still a work truck that gets hay and water tanks back there.

If you have any other advice for how to go with this, let me know.

Here is what it looks like right now



Here it is after a paint job, 5% tint, SRT-10 hood, rims, tires, and black nerf bars. The rims are actually 20" but they look more like 17" rims in this chop.

Good luck on the project bro! You got a good plan and I think it'll look killer when you get done!

I am usually more of a monochromatic guy but I like the combo of blue and black. Looks like you have a good plan, now start modding

Same here, I've always had black cars that I blacked out. I almost thought of painting this truck all black and then decided I really like the blue so I'm going to use it. What color should I do the calipers? Atlantic blue or black?

If you put black wheels/head lights it would look alright. Chrome doesn't work with it at all

I respectfully disagree. I'm going to black out the lights but I really like the chrome wheel look. I think it offsets it just right and will look really good. Chrome looks really good against a blue or black vehicle and I think it will look just as good against a two-tone black and blue vehicle. JMHO
