Wow, it's in a REAL paint booth, something most of these trucks will never see...

Looking forward to see how it turns out.

I too will be watching to see how it turns out.

mwooten92 · 02-07-2010, 01:25 AM

Kmart2352 · 02-07-2010, 01:30 AM

It looks very nice. It will look good when it hits the road.

gchemist · 02-07-2010, 01:30 AM

Wow, great color!!

staggerd86c-10 · 02-07-2010, 01:33 AM

looks really good dont forget about us when its done. did you put shadows in the chevrolet in the tailgate or is it just the angle of the picture?

mwooten92 · 02-07-2010, 01:35 AM

it'll be a vista blue and a silver. the black was just a base and the silver is for the 2 tone that will be in the middle. the silver is same color they use on Infinites and the vista blue is from the ford mustangs

mwooten92 · 02-07-2010, 01:36 AM

it is just the angle of the shot. we thought about outlining the letters to have the shadow effect but decided not to.

Sweet. How did u get the truck into the paint booth- wheel dollies?
Nice color combo. Keep posting pics. Heres a few of mine- Damn 8 foot bed was too long to completely fit in the paint booth!

Usually you drive (or roll) the truck in the booth. Then jack it up and pull the wheels off. You must have had your truck in a little paint booth. I have had crew cab long bed trucks in standard booths

I really like that! looks like it came out perfectly. that was the best part for me, when I got mine home and had a "new truck" to assemble. Have fun man!

mwooten92 · 02-08-2010, 03:22 PM
