Re: Once Blue... Now Red
Sweet. Are you going to do some pinstriping in white on the hood to match the roof?

Re: Once Blue... Now Red
Yes... White pinstriping is in my near future. Also going white bumpers and white rally wheels with chrome beauty rings and center caps. Still have the fender badges and cab custom trim to put back on too.

Re: Once Blue... Now Red
Austin... it is three coats of this over 2 coats of gray primer. Down & dirty, fast... and VERY cheap.
OK... now I am ready to take my "ribbing" on the paint color selection! Hahaha You can take a look at the whole process on my blog.
