Does not look to bad from here. I'm going to do the same thing to my 81 stepside. Only mine is going to be flat black and stay that way.

Is it flat black or semi gloss? it sure doesn't look shiney to me. The shineiest part of it is the cab right behind the door and above the cab corner, on the body line area.

It does look alot better then the old yellow, that's for sure, and my favorite color is yellow!!!! LOl but IMo looks alot better black!!!!!

Re: paint it black-death of the bumbble bee
 

its a satin black. i think it looks shinny there because of the way the light hits it

it's called a 50 foot or 100 foot paint job, which ever distance it looks the best is how you determine. when it's a half mile paint job you got problems.

Re: paint it black-death of the bumbble bee
 

I've always called them 50/50 paint jobs, it looks good at 50 feet or 50 miles per hour.

I'm guessing your index finger is pretty much usless for a while (right along with your wrist).............

the fingers not bad, it got tired though. the paint job is getting aproval from everyone whos seen it, including the skeptical girlfriend
