Re: new paint sheme ?
Looks like it went to a birthday party with wet paint. It will look like it needs a change in a few years. Basic black is always good though.

Since you're asking for opinions-I've always liked black trucks (good job!) but not too crazy about the colorful confetti... I guess if that's what your buddy wanted, then that's ok... I wouldn't do that to one of our classics. |

Re: new paint sheme ?
Get that truck in the shade.It's getting freckles from being in the sun!!!
However that is a good looking job on the paint. BTW Did his kids pick the color?

Re: new paint sheme ?
Since you asked what we thought...my first thought was whats so "new scheme" about black, it looks pretty good....then ewe what are those sparkly things? Not my cup of tea, but to each his own. He paid you to do that to his truck right?

Re: new paint sheme ?
I think if you like it go for it! But I think it would get old pretty quick. Nice work though. Just think about all the work to redo it if you get tired of it.

Re: new paint sheme ?
No disrespect towards the quality of work but in regards to the speckled pattern, there is no way I'd want my truck like that. Thanks for sharing. JMHO!

Re: new paint sheme ?
It's like the sprinkles that women wear on their eyes or other body parts.
Keep it manly- go basic black.

Re: new paint sheme ?
I have to agree, black is awsome, but the sprinkles go on cup cakes.... or that chick that gets called cupcake... I wonder if there's a connection there?

Re: new paint sheme ?
Black is beautiful. I think the "sprinking" thing was a fad in the early 90's.
Not my taste, I'd pass on the sprinkles.

Re: new paint sheme ?
I like the first two pics better than the last three. Sorry, I must agree with the consensus.

Re: new paint sheme ?
Ok if a girl is driving the truck it's ok, but we need pics of said girl in or near the truck - but only if she's of legal age!
