WOW, clean 2nd gen!!!! That topper needs to be painted black imo…but man what a clean ol pickup!At least in Canada the 2 tone Black and red of my 1996 2500, was a rare paint combination. As far as I know it was only available for about 4 years. I have seen a handful over the years but not many. It is distinctive enough people recognise me by the trucks colors.

Thanks, that is the original factory paint. Canopy was put on new in 1996, factory color matched to the red, as is the one on my new 2021. Interestingly, the paint code for the Red on the 1996 and on my 2021 are the EXACT same paint code. Have had a lot of unsolicited offers to buy the old girl but gave it to my nephew, who is a car nut, instead.WOW, clean 2nd gen!!!!

That is awesome. Not only kept it in the fam, but also helped a kid out who will actually take care of it. So cool!Thanks, that is the original factory paint.

@GTyankee that's true, would imagine they figure out they want to offer a certain color and then they make a run of all the trucks or vehicles they want to paint that color depending on how limited they want to make it, or maybe it's just 10 at a time. I know when I went to get my dually. I was going to order it as I'd never seen the color in person, but every dealer I talked to said production of that color had stopped. Granted it was late in the production run. (early april).They will only paint a special color if they have a minimum of 10
those 10 have to be like 10 Heavy duty Rams, or TEN 1500s at the same plant
They won't load the paint guns for less than 10 Rams
As far as the Orange Rams go, maybe the pigment may be off a BCH, but there have been several Oranges, just a different name for them
ie:
Copperhead Pearl Orange
Ignition Pearl Orange
HEMI Orange
Sunburst Orange Pearl
I found out that i dislike Delmonico Red after my order came in

I think that it looks better & almost matches the 2009 Dodge Ram
