Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Man I blocked the hood and sprayed some black epoxy on it only to cover the bare spots (two spots.lol) and it got good to me and I ended up spraying the whole hood just to see how it looked and man it makes me want to paint the truck black.lol But I'm not. Man black looks good but hell to keep clean. Plus I already bought my paint.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
The hood looks great. I love black car/trucks but they are a pain to keep clean but they look sharp.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I had a buick GN and it was sweet looking (black) but your are right they will kill you in the time it takes to keep them clean. I can't wait to see your green and how nice i am sure it's going to look knowing you! You do everything the right way.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Kabwe-
Factory color or special mix green? Just curious. When we were looking for my color green we looked at snake skin green (dodge) to some house of color greens and anyhting in between. The idea for my shade of green came from Kawasaki. They made a sport bike back in the 80's in a simular (tri coat) color green. They re-released the color some 4-5 yrs ago. Problem was Kawaskai wanted to kings ransome to order the paint from them direct. We went the custom mix route and kept it to a 2 stage paint. Not easy to do and still have the effect of a tri coat. Looking good. Marc

Mine is a factory color. I knew it would be green because after years trying to decide I kept coming back to green. The problem is there are so many different shades of green, than you have metallic or solid. BTW love your green man. I was thinking and just about set on a very soft solid green but the direction of the truck started calling for a green with more pop to it. So I started looking at every new car that drove down the street for a color I liked. Once day I bought my daughter some jolly rancher candy open the bag and saw that apple green.lol I went to the paint supply and tried to match, but fell in love with a kia color.lol Its lighter than what I had in mind, but I think it will look pretty good and different.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I wasn't going to say anything because I remember being told, "leave grown people alone" when I asked what color....maybe Bam has gotten soft in his old age...

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Your right, I should leave old people alone. He is going to make me pay. Probably when I need him for welding advice. Black and Green does sound good.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
LOL. Yeah I guess I'm getting old. But I thought you get meaner when you get older.lol Anyway the truck will not be two tone. I like 55 2nd series one color plus youngrodder has a sweet black and green truck and I'm no copy cat. I like to be different. It will be low and green and hopefully mean.
Okay guys I guess I'm getting nicer because I will show you the wheels I bought. I called today and they said another two weeks. I really wanted post pics of them when they come in but here you go. I went with these 18x7 and 18x10. tire size will be 225/45 in the front and 295/45 in the rear. I paid more than I would have liked but I like them and you only live once right. ![]() |
