Very nice. Love green trucks.

tantrumpipeline · 10-14-2010, 11:58 PM

that's a nice looking truck, great work, the paint color sets it off, nice choice

Tink · 10-15-2010, 08:15 AM

Thanks everyone! The truck was originally that olive - snot green, so we felt that it should go back to green... at first, when I saw it I was a little overwhelmed - looks a lot different on a truck then on the paint chip. But, it grows on you... like mold...

What color Green is that?
I'm looking to paint mine Green also.
Post some other "Daylight" pics when you get a chance.
I'm piggy-backing on your enthusiasm, to get me through!

LOL. I'll look at the paint can when I get home. Right now, it is hiding in the garage, but we will pull it out this weekend for some daylight pics.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 10-15-2010, 11:45 AM

Looks nice congrats..

Tink · 10-20-2010, 08:10 AM

Thanks guys!

Here is a new pic with all the parts on except the door handles which haven't arrived yet:

Now, it really doesn't look like the same truck.

Sorry I haven't gotten any pictures in the sun yet - by the time we got all the parts on it was pretty late.

He gave us the extra paint, but the paint ran down and covered part of the label so all I can read is AMBA GREEN/Limco 1. It is a BASF paint.

DAMN!
If you had backed up another 30', there would have been some Sun!!

Tink · 10-25-2010, 12:01 PM

As requested... Sun pictures!

VA72C10 · 10-25-2010, 12:11 PM

Awesome!!!

tdp67 · 10-25-2010, 12:24 PM

Looks nice!

srea76 · 10-25-2010, 05:44 PM

Looks great, but now I have a request. Pull it in the exact same spot in front of that old coke building and get a shot of the new paint. I like before and after that way and it would look awesome comparing them.
