Pinstriping and lettering pics on the wife's truck - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

powell72 · 10-01-2005, 08:13 PM

Last Wenesday the pinstriper came out and laid out the lettering and stripes after my wife finally figured out what see wanted. It's amazing to see someone do that free hand. What do you guys think? Retro Ritas is my wifes business.

Thats looks awsome. What kind of paint is the black?

barn9 · 10-01-2005, 09:00 PM

Looks great! I think she needs a steering wheel and dash pad for Christmas.

chevyboy55 · 10-01-2005, 09:02 PM

Cool old skool!!!

KEH · 10-01-2005, 10:02 PM

She will for sure get some looks in that truck! I like it.

powell72 · 10-01-2005, 10:03 PM

weasel29gm-He only charged $200.
bowtieman-It's a flat black paint, not primer. I'm not sure of the name or brand, just told the painter I wanted flat black, no primer.
barn9-If I gave you a good pic of the interior you'd see her Christmas list is longer than that!

Stroker · 10-01-2005, 10:07 PM
