Re: Ochre? Keep or re-paint????

Ochre is one of those colors that looks like crap when it's dull and faded, but when shined up, it looks great.

$1,500 is a heck of a deal for that paint job, it came out GREAT!

Re: Ochre? Keep or re-paint????

I'll chime in too and say it came out awesome ---- love the original wheels and caps too (of course it would also look great slammed over some 20's too)

Too bad my battery won't charge, but that's a different topic.
First off, very cool!!! Paint came out great.

Now, where in heck did you get your truck painted in CA for $1500?!!! I would so be all over that. I am hoping some place in SoCal.

Thanks,
Mike

Looks great! Glad you decided to keep the color. Now you just have to add that stroker motor and give it a new name:

STROCHRE! (stro-kra)
