It's not a decal, it's actually two tone paint. PXJ paint code for the stripe regardless of primary color on our gen.
Just my 2 cents... I ordered my truck with the delete option, not liking the side decal especially with Ram Boxes which I also have. But after having it for awhile I did long for the tail gate decal which is also removed. The Mopar part for the tail gate decal sells for between $300 and $450 without installation! (That's 30-45 bucks a letter "Power Wagon") without installation for a decal! I was able to find a local custom shop that specializes in decals, vehicle wraps etc. who was able to custom make one for me. It allowed me to pick which colors ( I used two to outline the lettering) type of letter font , size and spacing. Design, creation and install was about an hour an cost me just north of $100! If at some point I grow tired of the design/color etc. For a hundred bucks I'll just change it 
My point is, explore all your options before just purchasing OEM parts. My truck is all black so I don't have the lower paint color you have but I would consider keeping it. That part of the truck takes a lot of abuse from road debris, salt and sand (that's just on the pavement). Its much easier and cost efficient to touch up minor issues.
Good luck with your decision,

If I understand what the OP is asking, then the above is correct. The black that runs from the bottom of the rocker panels up into the doors (ending just under the "Ram" on the door) is paint, so just like a two-tone paint job. The "Power Wagon" words and surrounding black that runs up to the top of the bed is a decal. I believe if you removed the Power Wagon decal it would leave you with a "normal" looking two tone paint. So for example, if the truck started like the top picture, it would look like the bottom picture after you removed the decals. I should also say that the thin black pinstripe that runs just above the black paint down the sides is a decal/sticker also you would remove.

Dudes! It's not paint, it's a sticker. Without photos I just don't know which one it is. Guess I will take a trip to the dealer parts counter. They are bound to have photos.

He is talking about the side sticker that comes on the 75a edition not the lower painted part.

The stripe in the picture you posted is 100% paint.
If you're talking about the 'low profile' graphics that say Power Wagon, look up "tracer graphics". I don't know the part number, but that's the actual option name.

Maybe I'm confused as to what the OP is talking about, or maybe something has changed. Was under the impression they wanted to remove the Power Wagon decal on the bed just before the rear wheels, so the part outlined in red. Then they were asking about keeping the black lower "two tone" strip that runs from the rockers up so it matches with the doors (see arrow).
Assuming we are talking about the same thing, and unless something is different on the 75A (never looked at one close up) the black is painted and will still be there after removing the Power Wagon decal. The confusion might be coming from the fact that there are decals that extend down from the green paint into the black paint. Below is a screenshot of the main decal. As you can see the black part of the decal flares out and ends at the paint stripe. Then there the "R" for Power and the "N" for Wagon are decals that go over the black paint.
In any case, I'm really curious now. However it's kinda' hard to track down a 75A to look at it in person! I've only personally seen a couple out in the wild since they introduced.

I own a 75A. I can assure you the stripe is paint and not a decal, hence my original answer to the OP. If he's talking about the stripe, it's 100% paint. If he's talking about the more subtle "power wagon" graphics, those are decals and are called 'tracer graphics'. Tracer graphics are the kind the 75A came with and is a no cost option on current production ones, at least the higher trims.

Nope, only pic I saw, which was crappy at best, was the lower black which is 100% paint. Mine is a 75A..

The lower black two tone is absolutely paint. There is a sticker applied over it. Just remove it.

OK. I think I have this figured out. The top is a decal. The bottom is paint (black). The bottom two letters (R & N) are decals that match the paint color of the truck (green). The only decal I will need is the small stripe that is above the lower black paint.

Yes, that is correct.

Yes!
I'm not 100% sure, but I don't think that factory "decal delete" trucks have that black pinstripe at all. Which means if you try searching for that exact location it may not exist. However I would think you could maybe find the black pinstripe that is meant for the door sections or other body parts and just it cut it to length to fit. Or maybe find an aftermarket equivalent. Of course you could just take off all of the pinstripe.

Correct! Zero decals of any kind on a decal delete...at least on my ordered 75A

That may be the source of much of the confusion, as the picture in your OP doesn't have the pinstripe above the main stripe. My 75A with tracer graphics doesn't have the pinstripe, either, and I never noticed it's existence on other trims.
