FANTASTIC! I am with the rest on the wheels, those wide whites and baby moons, do it justice, if they have any of that color left over have them shoot the wheels, to replace the red.

overall, a Class Act!

watahyahknow · 06-27-2007, 03:29 PM

they didnt made a lot of money on that painjob i even think they lost some on it .
that paint looks like a mirror they must have buffed it after paint

1966chevroletpu · 06-27-2007, 04:27 PM

damn that's a nice ass color for your truck i like it. not bad for a $650 panit job.

**slepysal** · 06-27-2007, 04:49 PM

thanks . The Color is called black metalic Cherry. I think it came out nice, I have to wait a few weeks to buff it out. I was Going to go with a two tone , White or silver, but I kind of like the solid color. And Yea it shines nice. The total price was $627.17, they even gave me 2 year "insurance " if it gets chiped, or door dinged!!!
I have some 5 star chrome wheels, some 15" wire wheels, and some 5 lug 15" astro supreams . Maybe I'll just paint the rims black ?

David Flores · 06-27-2007, 05:32 PM

Looks great. Your truck has come along way!!

19GMC63 · 06-27-2007, 05:44 PM

holy ****. Thats bada$$. I wish I could get that good of a deal around here.

I love that color, same color thats on the vair.

04Xrider · 06-29-2007, 04:20 PM

Very nice. I hope to be getting mine painted within the next year, just not quite done with the mods yet. I restored a 1949 chry about 10 years ago and I have to say that body work takes a lot of patience, so this time I am having some one else do it
