Of you like em do it to it. Remind me of the 80's, and i wasn't even born then lol. Be careful leavin it primer. It'll trap moisture quicker

was going to seal it with wax think that will help?

Re: want your opinions
 

No.

If you really want the suede look to be long term you have to use paint, not primer. Real paint seals against moisture and is UV resistant among other things. There are a few sources for flat and semigloss hot rod paints, and they are not expensive. Tr Eastwood for one.

It's not a '53 chevy. Just sayin...

Re: want your opinions
 

whats that got to do with it glad you can tell the difference

Re: want your opinions
 

Bottom line: primer is porous. It'll start rusting under the primer and you'll have rust bleed through if you don't put some sort of paint over it. And don't leave it outside until you get it painted.

Try three scallops from behind the front wheel, below the belt line only.

The one going forward, especially curving down up front is kind of odd. It puts curves in that don't suit the truck's lines.

I would continue the top scallop over the step side fender to draw out the body.

Re: want your opinions
 

If you like the scallops, then do it. As far as what was said about primer and moisture is correct. What I would do is after everything is done, spray a coat or two of flat clear over the whole thing. That will seal everything and keep the look you have.

You asked for our opinions. My opinion is, this 1950's-esque paint scheme will look silly on your truck. That is what it's got to do with it. :smoke:

Re: want your opinions
 

You need a sealer to go over the primer basicly. As for scallops a double line behind the wheel wells could work but the early apache style trucks have the lines that work real well with them. Idk square trucks are hard to do anything with other than two tone or the factory lines from the sports and such. IMHO

I'd lose the top one abd bring a couple back on the side step fender. Tie the bed into it. Nice ruby red metallic make it pop... Red interior and you'd be rockin.

next style ??????

Re: want your opinions
 

It might have been made popular in the 70s but pretty sure its been around since the 40s lol.

The curve thing is a little odd, but other then that i don't think its that bad, if you like it go for it. You should definitely lower it next though lol.

the second rendering you did, it looks kinda random just like there...

Re: want your opinions
 

What about putting them on the nose and leading them to midway on the door?

well its done and pics will be up soon and I wanted to let you all know I went over the primer with satin clear was a much better finish and looks better to thanks for the input

Re: want your opinions
 

You said you want opinions. Whatever floats your boat, but I wouldn't do it. Then again I like my styling classy and high gloss. Some people like other styles.
