I got a call from the paint shop this morning. They told me that my new hood should be in around noon and they started taking the truck apart this morning. They asked if I could come in today and pick out the paint so they could get it into the booth. It's been along time coming and I have gotten aggravated somewhat waiting but I must admit. I am SUPER EXCITED!

Got a few updated pics. Hoping I'll be driving around in a couple weeks!

Thanks! Man I was happy when I seen a little paint on it. They didn't have much done (Paint Wise) but some paint is better than no paint.

You did the photoshop. I guess it's the least I could do!

Oooohhh, I hate it when they shoot metalics with vertical panels laying down. So many times I can see the difference when the panel is vertical again when hung on the vehicle. I hope that you can't see the difference if they shoot the fender laying down like that! EEK!

They hang them in the paint booth to shoot them. I think they were giving the primer time to dry. lol, no worries.

Looks good! What gray did you end up going with? And too bad none of our trucks are done for the 11th St cruise tonight!

I picked my colors from their paint chips and don't know the name of the colors. I can get the code off the chips if you'd like. Yeah it sucks that we missed the cruise. I missed the Silsbee cruise and 11th street.

Claytona08 · 10-21-2013, 08:30 PM

Updates from today. They have everything painted gray except the cab and bed. Once all the gray has been sprayed they'll re assemble the truck and tape off to spray the silver. After that they'll wet sand and buff the truck and spray in the bed liner.

77ChevySharkBite · 10-22-2013, 08:36 AM

Ahhh I can't wait to see it done, that gray is killer already, but that silver is going to make it pop! Right on man looks good

SeTx67 · 10-23-2013, 12:37 PM

Truck is looking good. I can't wait to see it in person

Thanks man. I got a call this morning that my bed and cab should be painted today and that I needed to order all my body molding, window channel, rubber kit, etc... Should be delivered there by this time next week. Tomorrow they will start reassembling to get ready to shoot the silver.

I think I am getting a little excited here! Pics to come this evening

Chrisxeasy · 10-23-2013, 01:02 PM

I'm in process of ordering molding as we'll too, I've only looked on lmc so far, have you found a full kit anywhere?

No, I had to piece it together on LMC. I ordered the belt molding and the bed corner moldings. Nice looking truck in your avatar.

Claytona08 · 10-23-2013, 09:41 PM

Here's a couple pics from today. They should spray the silver on the cab tomorrow.
