Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
Truck looks fantastic, my favorite color. Wish i could get away with fat tires around here.
The only thing i caution you on is your fuel delivery, that s alot of rubber hose, and what looks like a glass fuel filter. If it were mine, i d put a metal fuel line in it, with a metal filter Nice build

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
The color is charcoal grey off of Toyota but I changed it a bit.@skorpoioskorpio. I don't know how to add the thread but it's near the top on the build page.

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
On the menu bar at the top there is a "User CP" link, if you go there you can change the characteristics of your account including your sig, it's basically the same format as a post.
It's a cool color, reminds me of my GFs new Focus' color, which I've been very tempted to paint mine that color. I am going with a GM Silver Ice (aka: switchblade silver) instead though because I'm trying to match the bikes that will be riding in the back. I'm always amazed how well these trucks look in shades of metallic silvers and greys since they were never offered that way, those colors look really at home on these trucks (as does the infamous Victory Red, but that is another story.) |

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
The hoods on but I can't get it to line up. Also the grill won't fit. The battle continues

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
Very Nice and Very Jealous.. mine has been in Paint & Body Prison for almost a year now..hoping it will be painted by end of Feb. My current Color that I"m going with is Space Grey (BMW Code A52) it should look very similar to your paint.

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
I love that color, it looks very good on the Blazer.
Funny on the hood hinges, I had the same problem. Before paint they closed great, after paint drivers side wouldn't sit down. New hinges worked like a charm.

Re: fresh paint finally!!!!!
Where did you order them from 67steven? I have two aftermarket parts from Lmc and the fit like CRAP. I spent hours on them to make them look decent.
