You can do wonders with spray paint if the look is good enough for waht you are looking for.
Best 99 cent upgrade anyone can do to there truck IMO. (price does not include your labor) ![]() |

Yeah, but try to launch that sucker weighing 4000 pounds once I sit my fat ass in it and having to turn 28 inch tall tires with a 3.07 gear.
I take a nap off the line untill I hit 3 grand...then it starts to get fun. Here it is under "normal person driving". The sad thing is, this engine got better gas mileage in a heavier truck spinning 3200@70MPH. |

and did you plan on taking that picture right when the odometer was rolling over. also how hard was it to get to the gauges to paint them like that>? i think its looks pretty awesome painted white.

Oh yeah, i took one shot at 99999, and one at 500,000 miles.
As for painting the guages, just take the panel apart, slide paper under the face between the face and the odometer, same with the high beam, (and same on fuel guage) and shoot it white. Then, once the white is dry, take a sheet of glossy paper and cut a slit in it and slide it under the needle covering the white, and shoot the needles what ever color you want. These ones are chevy engine orange if memory serves. |
