The lime green looks OK. I don't think purple would be in my top 10. Myself,I like the Macho trucks in silver or white. Everyone will have their own preference though...

I like it but the bright lime or purple definitely benefit from the Macho package's flat black treatment.To much can bee too much!

Lime and black - sure. (Unless it was intentional, there's a color shift going on in the photos making the black appear purpley).

How about the fairly bright green metallic 1979 color. Don't know code but it was on many trucks and would look cool with the macho package colors.

I went with the 2013 dodge dart R/T "citrus peel pearl" & black treatment.

got my doors on now. just need to get the bed done.


I am kinda following some of the Baja paint jobs and macho paint to mix it up a little.


I have my cab/hood black and plan to do the bed black with the stepside fenders/tail gate in the citrus peel pearl.

new engine/fenders/doors/weather strip/color change and she is starting to feel like a new truck again.
