This truck is going to be a great calling card for your business. You guys do extremely nice work!

Man, "Sexual Chocolate" is one beautiful truck. It's funny how colors come and go. Back in the late '80s, everyone wanted to paint everything monochromatic and seafoam green was the hot color. The '90s was big on no graphics, 2-stage paints, and purple colors. The 2000s saw metallics make a big comeback, and every type of orange you could imagine. Now, the trend is to go to solid colors that are easy on the eye.

I love the brown color on that truck. If you would have asked me 10 years ago, I would have said no way. Maybe I'm just getting older..........

Stay Tuned waiting for the new powdercoatable seam sealer to show up. ;););)

Oh, now you have my attention!

I had mixed results with other fillers and powder, but the seam sealer sounds interesting, too.

Creep, We should have it in Columbus next year.... I hope ???


We have kinda been at a stand still working on the new powdercoat bondo process. Hopefully we can put a heavy powder primer coat on tomorrow and coat the rest of the cab this week.

Damn, dude. That sucks, heal up. I only had minor success with fillers and powder, so I am looking forward to seeing how you do with a new stuff.

Managed with sprained ankle to have a great weekend at Twisted Koncepts Show Off Showdown, DD and BLT from Gauge Magazine did a photo shoot for the 67 Buick, and the ol' girl stole the show winning Best of Show from TK and getting the Pink Lady Award from Gauge Mag :) Had a good time. More pics to follow as they surface.

Hopefully more updates on "No Paint" soon..............
