No Almond Pearl Metallic available on 3500's
I am finally ready to seriously look at a Dodge and the dealer tells me you can not order Almond Pearl Metallic in a Dually. I don't get it, when one dealer earlier in the year told me that Almond was the best selling color, but never realized it was not available in a one ton. I think a dually would be beautiful in that color.
This is a WAG, but I'd say it has something to do with paint matching the fenders to the rest of the body. When I had my ding repaired (see my gallery
) The paint guy said it was a nightmare to duplicate the pearlesent color. He had to shoot two thirds up the rear panel to blend the almond color into the original, and had a number of supplier colors to choose from depending on where it was being used; sides, roof, hood, etc.

Same thing happened here when we went to order, first we tried Almond, then Graphite, then Atlantic Blue, then finally decided on Silver which should look good once we tint the windows black. Reminds me when a GM dealer (I know I admit it was a mistake) once told me "pick a color, any color" yeeah right, at that time there were only 3 trucks in Canada lol It was that week my 98 Dodge was bought and I never looked back
