Sure looks sweet.

So many comments on the color... I'm glad most people like it.

It was inspired by the factory green but it is actually just a Diamont - RM "stock" color. I was originally going to try a 3 stage pearl... We tried quite a few different base colors with different amounts of pearl and I just wasn't keen on any of them. In the search for the perfect base color, I picked this chip and I'm really happy with it. bad67772 has taken the paint code and added a few ounces of silver pearl (I think). I can't wait to see how that turns out.

Here are a few more shots from yesterday. Nothing special... Just a drive around the area we live in. Skies were pretty cloudy but it was nice to get out anyway.

the grill really sets it off ! looks great blacked out!

C10-Driver · 11-14-2007, 05:35 PM

Thanks again everyone.

C10addict, I really like the blacked out look of the grill too. It gives the front of the truck some depth or something. There is probably a great divide on this issue... I'm definitely on the "Blacked-out" side.
