A Daughter's Touch - Flat black

[AustinScott]

so I must admit, I started this due to my Daughter's idea... It was her paint scheme & her effort

I think it was a great choice / Idea so i said what the hell, go for it!

Masking, Via my Daughter... she has a pretty good eye, with a bit of dad's help


again all done by her, with a bit of coaching from her pops, nice work... after a few retries.. E for effort!!!!!


She understands what needs to be done, DAD goes inside to have Lunch....


She gets done masking and starts painting... to DADS stressful return!!! OMG!!!!!!! what did you do!!!!!



Ok... good job, now let dad make a few finishing touches... well good job not bad for your first time!! BRAVO!!!!


Now lets see what it looks like on the truck.... well ****, girl... I think you got a winner... good job!!!!

How old is your cutie? She's going to grow up to be a beauty. You're a very lucky man to share this with her. Her work looks great too. Nice that you let her do this. HUGE congratulations.

Thanks man... she is 8, and she truly said... DAD I want to paint our truck... so i gave the paint we had.. and WE worked out the idea.... but to my amazement she had the idea that surpassed mine... so I went with it and let her do her thing... a few tape rolls later and some GREAT time spent with my Daughter... it ended up as you see... lesson learned... no idea is bad... with a bit of conversation... any idea can be a blossom for a cool and rewarding idea!!!!

I love my litter girl... its not a perfect paint job... but its her first & for that I thinks it's better!!!

Emmaly thanks all of you who think her paint job was "quote - Cool"

you must wait in-line.... she has only painted my hood, the rest of the truck is still waiting...


But her older brother is interested and ready to make his younger sister look bad, so you never know!!!!

If I were you...

The day if I decided to get a full on paint job, I'd buy another hood and save the one she worked on and hang it on the wall.

Just plain cool.

Looks really good

That looks great,,,,,unbelievable that she came up with the idea. My daughter could care less about my truck however she is all over my motorcycles.

EXCELLENT suggestion. My daughter is 27 and an attorney now but I'd give anything to have something like that hanging up in my garage.

That needs to be an 8x10 on the wall. Tell her how proud we all are of her and what she has done. Awesome job!
