Just purchased a '14 1500 Crew Cab in Blue Streak Pearl or Pearl Blue Streak, whatever its called. On to the tough question. I plan on plasti-dipping the rims and all the badges. At first I was thinking black but then I feel in love with the anthracite gray maxresdefault.jpg

I've ordered black side steps and was considering a black bull bar (thoughts on that also wanted). So I'm not sure if they gray along with the black would look good. Should I just stick with all black?

I believe I saw where someone photoshopped my color truck with the gray wheels, but for the life of me I can't find it on here anymore.

Gold would look bad ass but color matching with the Gray would look 10x's better.

I like the gray. Gold can look sharp but you will need to bring in a couple of other gold accents to make them pop.

So everyone likes the grey. Didn't see that coming. You guys think that will still look good with having black side steps?


Also edited the photo, should have picked a better image. I wasn't picking between the gold/aluminum/and gray. It is just the factory photo that showed the anthracite gray. My choices are matte black or the anthracite.

Gold just isn't my style. What do you mean by color matching with the gray?

I agree, but it's not a subie...lol

Or he could do a bronze color.

Grey will look good. Just like black though been done a million times..

Looks awesome!

My step bars are coming in this week. Once the weather clears up enough to install them I'll make the final decision. Looks like everyone thinks go with the gray. I can't wait!

That's really tough. I'm going with black on my Max Steel truck (or so I think haha), but I do like the gray. I don't think mixing black/gray is a problem at all. One of the wheels top on my list to get is black with a gray lip.

Grey and I like the bull bars. Been wanting one for a while. Do not worry about black and grey as they will compliment without clashing.

Thanks everyone. Side steps are in along with my cover. I got the cover on but can't take it outside anymore. It's cold and windy as anything here. A lot of hate on the bull bar, I actually think it'd look good. I'm also worried about the plastic bumper of the express. I'll wait until I get the steps install and it's warmer and I get the rims/badges dipped in gray to decide.

I like both, but I have the same color and I opted for flat black. IMO, the grey one goes real good with many colors and match chrome items better. but for the blue with black trim pieces, the flat black is the way to go. In case u didn't catch it...
