This is a metallic paint and the pics don't do it justice it's really bright in the sun, Standsout

when it came time to decide how to paint my truck, i went to House of kolor web site and purchased a program for like $50.00. Once loaded on your computer you can "paint" your truck any way you like and get a very realistic idea of how it'll look. Once i designed what i wanted, gave it to paint shop and they were able to do it with no problems. It was about 3 yrs ago... I believe it was called "Digital Paint Booth" hope this helps..

NINERS1 · 02-18-2011, 04:29 PM

Well not exactly bright but very metalic. some subtle pinstripping.

SBC · 02-18-2011, 04:54 PM

that Digital Paint Booth looks like a good program, but doesn't work for a Mac?? I thought someone on this website helped develop that program, does anyone remember who?

my trucks almost ready for paint and i would like to see more shiny trucks so.....TTT

Mine's pretty bright... Lots of metallic in the paint. It's actually hard to look at in the sun.

I don't think your truck could ever be hard to look at, more like "hard to look away"

**SactoJim** · 02-19-2011, 12:39 AM

I got a few hours in bodywork and cuttin & Rubbin!

OldSkool71 · 02-19-2011, 01:08 AM

What color is this? I can clearly see its green lol, but I'm wondering how you got it to look that way?

OhioDan · 02-19-2011, 04:19 AM

Candy and pearl. It turns gold, yellow, neon green, purple, violet, and a little blue as you walk around it.

Robertjust777 · 02-19-2011, 10:01 PM

treveiger · 02-20-2011, 12:57 AM

A guy came up to me one day and told me my truck sticks out like a sore thumb then after a moment he said "I LIKE IT"

ended up talking for a while after that. My truck is orange with some pearl in it, and cream white with pearl on top and with a strip on the bottom also.

weircc · 02-20-2011, 12:59 AM

here's a couple of mine

AirSpeed · 02-20-2011, 01:04 AM

Mine isnt candy or mettalic but its shiney and bright! This was my first paint job, I did it in my sawdust filled woodshop basement, it turned out pretty good for the first time.

This is one of my favorite trucks on the board. Not a color that I would have picked, but I just love this thing.
