[Bishops Trucks]

You wouldn't want someone to choose your next girlfriend would you? I'm a bluezy kind of guy myself but it's your truck and you'll be driving it.

Well, I bought the truck 5 years ago and it was all in gray primer, its always
been known as that primer chevy, I'm trying to keep it more of a hotrod as it's always been, but i think it would be a shame to get it this close to paint
just to prime it and throw it back together. I love how a light color brightens
up the interior but I would prefer an exterior color more towards black or a
wineberry red. I'm just not too confident I can prep it for such a dark color

Sounds like you might want to go the John Deer Blitz Black route. Maybe throw a little family hotrod shop logo on the door or an old school go fast insignia on the lower front fender?
