I actually like the burgundy. Solid red was OK.
You could always paint it back to original... |

this might sound a little weird
but scuff up your paint, prime the truck (grey is best) then go get some cans of Tremclad Aluminum ... scuff up the primer (don't sand it perfect smooth, just scuff it), shake the cans just enough to mix em up to paint to work, but not totally mixed and let the truck had it, just thick enough till it almost runs like I said it sounds weird but your truck will end up looking like a big block of unfinished aluminum, it's a pretty cool effect as a side note, I'm not a fan of red at all, but your truck looks pretty good the way it is |

What's wrong with blue? I say make it black with about 18 coats of clear, and take it to Mike Lavalle and have him put some true fire on it with some of his awesome skulls that he paints. It will only cost you about $20 grand, but man would the chicks dig it! I actually think the new silver they use on the frontiers would look good on your truck, besides gray/silver don't look that dirty even when they are covered in mud! |

I'm not usually a fan of burgundy color (the wine is OK), but it does look good on your truck. And the way if fades into the red is good too.
I don't know about tan, Ted . . . tan looks good if you're in the sand, but on the street it's kind of weak. Needs an awful lot of mud on it to make it look decent ;) |

Dude, bed line it, I've seen how you drive, it would best suit the type of daily abuse you inflict upon it, and still have that rubberized shine.

the way it was, red with black bumpers and such. that red white and blue desert racer scheme is the sh*t though. i just rattle can mine. its a lot easier to touch up the constant scratches and dents!
