If you haven't read my post, my truck was beaten to a pulp by hail. I have taken it to the dent wizard & he said that he can't do anything, needs new panels. The entire truck will need repainted & I'm thinking of changing the color. Right now it is Deep amethyst Pearlcoat, basically Navy blue with purple pearl coat. I call it Blurple. I am thinking of maybe going with silver, Kinda like Gone in 60 seconds tone. Whatcha think? Any pics are appreciated.

Gun metal gray from the late 01/02 model years. There is one for sale now in the classifieds actually.

Here's photos of my old car, same basic color.







Easily my favorite color, if you couldn't tell. Looks REAL good in a sport package (if you can find some way to swing that into the repairs too!).

I really wanted Patriot Blue, Forest green, Mineral gray, silver and lastly white...in that order, the truck I found was immaculate in every respect..but white. I bought it anyway. The darker grays look really nice. There are two second gens around here and chrome or blacked out looks good either way.

That is a very sweet color, I think the Charcoal colors are sweet on these Rams, silver is also on the list.

Yeah, that color is very nice also, I've always liked silver with alot of polished aluminum & billet.

Electric blue is a great color, but I just see too many of them running around in my area. I like to be different.

My friend has one in that green, don't want to be a copycat, but the color is sharp.

OHHHH! You guys are talking about the new Dodges. I thought you meant the stock 99 Dodge electric blue. The new Dodges are viper blue, my 64 Impala is that color....would be kinda cool to match them.

Nothing wrong with white, seems to never get dirty.

Good choices there, I like the Chevy color [Peuter]

My brothers 98.5 looks just like that [dually]. Only difference is that his isn't a sport & he has a decal down the side, very sharp truck.

Min. gray or deep crystal red. Black is the worst. Shows imperfections too easy.
