Don't go to a Painters Supply and buy "arctic gray" ('94 factory Dodge color), as you will probably end up with some sort of light gray primerish color as I did.

2 tone colors are always a hit. The green and Gold grew on me quick when i first saw it. There is a sharpe blue and silver on ebay now. check out the responses from the favorite 1st gen colors. Some good ideas there that you don't think of everyday.

solid white with black trim and aluminum wheels is my fav for this body style.
I like the dark colors, but living on a dirt road they are constantly dusty looking.

What they said, Patriot Blue over Silver, Black.
Dupont Chroma Base with Chroma clear or PPG.
KartRacer: When I fist saw saw you post I was thinking, "Man, I don't know what he is talking about,.. that thing is SHARP"!
(then I saw your truck below)
I can Kid, I had an 88 Chevy 1/2 ton that I poured my blood sweat and tears into, let my brother in law pain it (yeah, I know, a brother in law job) Darn thing was NEVER right. Color was off, clear was light in spots, ran in others. I picked a late 90's Chevy color, I think it was supposed to be some type of silver with gold pearl. Turned out baaaaaaad.
Just pick a color and make sure you get good quality paint and someone who knows what they heck they are doing, preferably with a downdraft booth, not a shop floor sprayed with a garden hose
