Default Getting a paint job and need opinions

I just got an insurance check for getting keyed and I'll be repainting my whole truck and adding some stuff too. Here is a pic of how it looks.


Things I Have in mind are

cowl hood
color match handles, tailgate cap, maybe find some mirror caps
de-badge
no more pin stripe

I'm still undecided if I should keep the current Indigo Blue or go with a darker blue. Any of you have suggestions for color or anything else. Photoshop would help if anyone can do it.

Lucky (or unlucky to get keyed) you!
I like your color as is, I think you'll be looking real sharp to de-badge and color match.

I like the color it currently is. Chaging color adds a lot more work and expense.

That blue is too pretty to change. I'd paint the front lower valance, and I'd like to see what the rear end (of the truck) looks like..

I would stay with the same color, add an 03 and up front with an hd hood, and color match everything...(grille, bumper, mirrors, doorhandles, rear bumper)
