What color ?

I will be painting my truck soon. The truck is totally stripped down to metal, including the jams. Gray/Black interior. What color should I paint the truck?

The one color I have always gone with is Black, but I also saw some 01-02 Dodge truck one time that was a champagne/gold color that looked sharp.

Ideas / Pics ?

Way to many things are that champagne, Go with the newer copper color, It would look good on a first gen.

if going a dark color make sure its straight sheet metal. i see a emerald green one once in a while . just a color you don't see very often.

I'll be painting my truck soon. I'm going with the new dodge burnt orange metallic on the top and bottom and platinum silver in the middle. i'm then going to have the silver airbrushed to look like it is riveted panels like an old airplane.
