Looking to get rid of my chrome on my big horn. Anyone have pics of something other than paint patched on the brilliant black pearl metallic paint? How does flat black look? Bedliner?

Looking to change both bumpers, add fender flares, door handles, grill...anything to break up the single solid color.

Considering that color has a ton of glitter in it I don’t think matte or flat black would compliment it very well. A disco ball hanging from the rear view mirror would look more appropriate if you ask me.

I think I tend to agree which I why I’m feeling paint matched is one of my only options. I’ve seen black with the flat black accents and I like it but I can’t tell from a distance if those black trucks have the metallic paint. It only shows in the sun really. I’d like the truck to look a little more rugged which the chrome absolutely doesn’t do in my opinion

A set of black/milled wheels would make it look a little tuffer, and maybe some wider tires imo. This is what im going for but i have a white ram.

Wanted white but it didn’t work out that way.
I really like paint matched but more on a single cab that is lowered. It’s a clean look. I think wheels could tuffen it up for sure but I’m in the process of fixing bumpers anyways so trying to take an opportunity

When not in direct sunlight the color looks good. To me though in the correct light there is WAY too much glitter in the paint. Same goes for the maximum steel. I’ve owned both and couldn’t get used to either of them.

In the sun you can still see the sparkle of the metallic in the paint. I will see if I can get some decent photos of it when I return home later this week. Unfortunately I don’t have a real camera, only my phone. I’ll do my best.
