Also applying the paint is quite difficult, as any flaws need a complete respray as the satin shows differently sheen wise when spotted. You can't sand and respray or polish a mark out. So I hear, no experience yet, just gathering info.
Color is very difficult, Dino is probably staying that light blue green color, but your at paint first. I really like that color on our trucks its very bright and shows the lines well. But you have two blue/whites already and a dark green would be great contrast for your collection. Good luck, it will look great no matter whick way you go.

Thanks man
Yea i like that last blue truck that i did blue alot.....and i am really not a blue kinda guy so thats wierd. The shortbox truck beside it i just sold to my buddy so i can still see it...drive it...but not have to fix it...lol
Ya that Dino.....His truck looks great....it's a killer......his will be done before mine i am sure. He seems like a really cool dude too...( Dino that was just for you buddy ) So there is no way i would use the same color he wanted to ...or the same lawn mower engine he is...chuckles.
But I think if i can find a nice silver i will do the frame and under cab all in silver i think. I was going to powder coat the frame, but i think i will fill it and do body work to it so that it's smoother and cleaner now
