Call me crazy..... But
I'm thinking about having my 21RBS painted to match my RAM 1500 TV.
With the various decal issues giving me reason to think about a repaint.
Too bad Earl Scheib isnt around like the old days "Paint any car $39.95" ;)

sweet...i thought of this too. It would be nice to have a clear coat as well. I find the trees rub through the CL paint at the slightest contact. it could be the dark grey but I find it odd there is not harder paint on these units. The blackout paint seems to be a step above though.

would you take all the trim off?  was also thinking you could do a vinyl advertising type wrap as well...kinda like what they put on the city transit busses 8-)

Leslie is starting something with that red on red rig of hers ;) Three of us have red RAM 1500s. You, me and Doug.

Other campers often comment on how the Jeep and the camper are color coordinated. One day I was sitting outside at a campground, and a man walking by commented on my color coordinated tea kettle. Who knows where this could lead?

Yep, Ma's ready for a color change away from red....except in the White House - 2016!

[p]And every year thereafter.. I remember a certain Monte Carlo that the paint just flew right off the car in the wind...lol[/p][p]
[/p][p]No matter how hard I wax and buff my LL just won't shine. I tend to think of it as flat bronze drab now, running with the big boyz...heh heh heh.

How about a flat black job?  Then you'd have a "Rat Camp".

We saw a new Ram at a beachside campground with the entire exterior done in, get this, spray-on bedliner black.  One 'bad' look for sure, tough finish that will last.  Never have seen this before or since.

Seen a couple of those myself in the past few years. Older trucks but you are right looks like crap. It must be cheaper then a good paint job or there are those that might just like the look ???

Yeah, not what the average person would want to do to a nice truck, but it did catch our attention.  We'll stick with our red Ram, our second one!  Last one, a red Ram 1500 with Hemi.  Liked it a lot too, just didn't get very good gas mileage.
