Would like to leave the grill inserts chrome though...

Thanks in advance!

I could probably knock that for you. I might need you to send me a higher res image, but let me see what I get when I save this image, it'll probably due just fine.

I'll do it in a couple hours, as soon as my wife makes me get out of my truck and go in the house.

If you have any other pics, maybe like 45° off the front headlight? Seeing both the side and front will give You an excellent rendering of what if.

Hey, sorry if the color is off, I could give at least three excuses. OEM colors are just complicated. this was the dominate color there is to work with but I imagine the burnt orange (passenger side hood) should have more presence.
If you would like a rework, upload another pic with the side and front together with limited or no glare. and I'll do it.
Hope it helps make a decision, I say go for it.grill & Bmpr b4naft db.png

thats a good photoshop. for me, i'm generally a fan of the colormatched look over the classic. but there's a few colours that I find it too much and like the chrome contrast. the plum ram is one of them. but that's me.

ps- looked again. leave the grill chrome and bumper colour keyed? lol

lol Oh thats awesome, I am more confused now about what color it is than I was before. lol Actually I am glad you uploaded both so I know I am not losing my ****, and these paints are just dynamic as ever.

ok so either of these will work, which color would you like to see?
You’re not kidding. Sometimes it’s a bright vibrant metallic red and then other times it’s a really dark maroon color


Preferably the lighter shade since that’s what it looks like most of the time during the day

Perfect. Hey hat gives me an exact idea of what it’ll end up looking like.

You might’ve just spent some of my money though

I’m conflicted as well

I think it looks good both ways and I’m glad WY.Ram did that bc I have no photoshop skills whatsoever.

It looks different all the time.

How about a photoshop of the side angle in the rain showing the entire side of the truck with it in that shade? Or these ones?


Not sure how long these take to make so I hope I’m not asking for a lot. I’ve never even attempted photoshop.

what colour is that? i thought it was 2 different trucks! the top one looks like my delmonico red and bottom plum but i assume it's not as while mine changes colour 2 it can go from a red in the sun to like a burgundy brown almost on a cloudy day. never anything near a plum

It’s delmonico red pearlcoat

I think the one front pic that he used is deceiving. It usually never looks like that shade in person so it was probably a bad pic for me to choose for the rendering...

ok now that i see the latter pictures it looks like delmonico red to me in different light. in which case i vote colour keyed!!! when i bought mine, i had the choice of 2 trucks. colour keyed black (which i was sure i'd buy) and the delmonico red. I knew as soon as i drove up it was my choice. it was a moderately sunny day. loved it then, love it now.

yeah if you look at the grass colour in it, it's really a weird shade. its like my samsung would probably show it with the blue filter applied to for easier on the eyes.

Looks awesome! You wouldn't by any chance be willing to do one more photoshop would you? I have the same color but different grill and a little bit of a different plan for mine.

I agree, the only time I've noticed my truck looking a little more maroon/purple is at night time without light on it. Add some light and it gets a lot more dynamic. Overcast days it's dark and a little more reserved, but pops really nice on a sunny day.

Not a prob, sometimes i get a little **** over the look and spend more time then necessary. Adobe is quite powerful and was not something that I learned all to quick. Self taught but I would not do it again if I had an alternative like formal classroom, but not always readily available.
They offer a 30 day free trial for their software and after that they start bangin on their credit card machine pretty hard.

So, top pic of the three trucks where the whole side of your truck is shown, Ya?

Yeah that one would be awesome if you could. It’s greatly appreciated.
