Well, this is where being 73 (or 57 in my case) kinda-sorta "helps" you out. Not only are my eyes not quite as good as they once were ,but I also have a little bit of the old man's feeling I should get on with it. YOu only go around once and I may be coming around the final turn already for all I know!! I'm only partly kidding. I definitely want my truck MY WAY. But "my way" is picky-as-a-'mutha about one thing, and probably too tolerant things that would make another guy's teeth itch! ![]() Bottomline is, does it make you happy? Do you take pride in what you've done? In the end it doesn't really matter if someone else loves it, it wins the AMBR, or it just makes YOU smile when you walk up to it. At least that's my opinion - and we all know what those are worth, huh? ![]() |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Well guys as promised, I finally sprayed a test panel (glove box door) and showed it to the wifey to get her opinion. She liked it a lot and so do I, but what do you guys think?

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
No booth yet but I will be doing that when I paint the truck. Thanks man, color is the hardest choice and I'm glad that I really like this color or it would have been back to the paint supply for me.lol That gold tint that you can see in the close up pic really makes it pop in the sun.

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
I like it but some might say that I'm partial to green.
Looks good. Is it a custom mix? Marc

Looks killer.
In the 3rd photo looks like it has some gold undertone to it. Looks great regardless. |

Re: Kabwe's aka Bam's build
Thanks guys,
That is lower line paint, we no longer can get the good solvent base stuff here in Cali. Its a waterbase state now and all I'm able to get from my jobber is limco, Nason, and Omni. This paint is Nason basecoat and Nason clear. With the cheaper lines of paint you may have to use more for coverage depending on the color. That was 3 coats of base coat and 3 coats of clear. I must say that the base coat laid down nice and even and the clear coat laid down like glass. It looks so wet my wife was afraid to touch it.lol |
