1bad chevy · 09-06-2007, 08:22 AM

i just did this truck for a friend i think i might do it to my 72 chevy what do ya's think

72BlckButy · 09-06-2007, 08:38 AM

It's different....

To each their own... but it looks great!

hgs_notes · 09-06-2007, 09:00 AM

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.

68gmsee · 09-06-2007, 09:35 AM

fwiw: my .02

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.

**lks dcvn** · 09-06-2007, 09:41 AM

Keep it simple.

glock35ipsc · 09-06-2007, 10:42 AM

I thought is was a boat at first......

1LoC10 · 09-06-2007, 10:47 AM

its kind of homosexual

not that anythings wrong with that...lol

BB72CHEVKT · 09-06-2007, 10:50 AM

Just say no

PanelDeland · 09-06-2007, 11:46 AM

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?

Brock · 09-06-2007, 12:46 PM

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?

**SactoJim** · 09-06-2007, 02:09 PM

I hear disco music.

ColoradoK5 · 09-06-2007, 02:13 PM

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.

killer71 · 09-06-2007, 02:49 PM

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!

Brock · 09-06-2007, 02:56 PM

I do agree its a nice quality paint job!! I'd let ya paint mine...No sprinkles for me please.

Brad · 09-06-2007, 03:04 PM

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

glock35ipsc · 09-06-2007, 03:26 PM

THAT's were I saw that stuff before!!

Longhorn Man · 09-06-2007, 04:07 PM

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?

67ChevyRedneck · 09-06-2007, 04:20 PM

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.

bad6772 · 09-06-2007, 04:38 PM

looks like a great paint job to me, different and realy not my style but none the less looks good, is the metal flake PPG?

1sik7t2 · 09-06-2007, 06:32 PM

i have to agree with most kind a girlie for me but.............. whatever

Long Roof · 09-06-2007, 07:42 PM

I like the first two pics better than the last three. Sorry, I must agree with the consensus.

*Shane* · 09-06-2007, 09:15 PM

i used to have some roller skates that had that sort of glitter stuff in the wheels ... i was 9 then.

1bad chevy · 09-09-2007, 10:00 PM

ok you guy's hit it on the nail it's his daughters truck and yes i agree with you all as to not liking the metal flake thanks a million for the input and thank's for the compliment's on the work and the flake is ppg brand called prizm the flakes actually change multiple colors the self

wibilly · 09-09-2007, 11:11 PM

nice job on the black. they put those cones on the freshly painted lines on the highway for a reason, don't drive over them!

Brad · 09-09-2007, 11:22 PM

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!
