well my insurance said i had to have shiney paint on the truck for it to be covered by classic insurance with the lower rate so i decided to paint it.

i don't have the clear on it yet but wanted to take some pics to show off...

Looks good, but didn't you mask off the windows??

86 GMG · 08-10-2005, 01:31 PM

bigarmzz · 08-10-2005, 01:31 PM

hobbz · 08-10-2005, 01:38 PM

lol, i didn't have any newspaper so i just put 2 rows of tape around the windows. i wasn't worreid about the front windshield cause it is getting replaced.

a lil paint thinner will take the paint off em

Better get cracking on taking that paint off! After a while, it doesn't come off quite so easily...

Looks really good otherwise!

hobbz · 08-10-2005, 02:46 PM

it might be green, but green and chrome go good together and it was a 30 dollar paint job

maybe i'm missing something, but there's no chrome on that truck, and what little there was to begin with, you just painted over it.
