MOPAR Green on Black?

[DEMONiAM]

I've got a stock 2000 dakota ( BLACK ) with Black and Slate Gray interior. I'm at a point where I might want to throw a little color on the beast. I need to get the whole truck hammered out and painted...but right now I am poor.

I was thinking that a classic mopar green might be a good accent color. I'd use it on the calipers, drums, intake, and maybe a couple other places.
I was trying to stay away from the classic black combinations(red, yellow, silver) but I definitely don't wanna gawdy truck...
What do you guys think?

could it work, or would it look like shit?

depends on the stance of your truck i wouldnt paint the calipers and espically the drums that green it would look riced out LOL

yeah...unfortunately im still sitting at stock, on stock...Just looking for some inexpensive customizing options, till I can buy the good stuff.

I think Green calipers n such would look nice. But I'd hit the drums with black. Painted drums are kinda... ghey. But a nice coat of black makes them look 'nice' :biggthump

Yeah, I just went to visit a classic car dealership in raleigh today. They had a Duster in Mopar green, luckily enough. I think it will come out right If i use it very minimally. I think rally stripes might be to ricer...a superbee style bedstripe might look good though. I also thought about doing a cuda style sidestripe would look ok, maybe. but I'll definately go with the calipers...maybe get the greenstuff pads when I upgrade...Gotta wait for the temp to come up first, so winter will be the save up and plan phase.

Cuda style bilboard side graphics are hot.... you don't want a green Bee stripe on the back of your bed with out having anything to balance it out but that is my opinion... Love the Classic Lime green Idea though nice! :banana2: :clap2: :mullet: :biggthump

go for the 70 or 71 cuda hockey stick stripe. my wife's father had one, black car/white stripe. looked really cool.
