Default Paint job this summer need help!!!

OK so once again i call on all awesome ram owners to help me here. I am getting the truck painted with all dings and dents removed, including that crappy bed liner that the jack *** before me put in. I have some color idea's in mind and yes i eventually want to enter the truck in some truck shows and try to win. So i would like good combo's that will work well. I wanted to do the color I have now, which is maroon mixed with burgundy with a hint of black thrown in to darken the final color, but I want something that will stand out of the crowd. My parents and some friends like the current color, but I want something that will be a head turner. Its getting painted in june and i am trying to finalize with what I want. I am not doing any kind graphics, just a simple color that will show off the truck. If you do know of any sites with some pics of what your trying to tell me, please include it in your post. Its a project that is slowly coming together for me, so please act like adults and keep the stupid comments to your self, i am asking for help on colors not judgment on my ride. thank you to all who help.

MOPAR! Silver with thick black stripes running from the front of the hood, over the cab to the back. Or black with silver stripes.
