After 9 years of working on the truck I finally painted it. Might I add that this is my first paint job that I've done myself. Let me know what you think.

Hope to get some outside shots later today if it doesn't rain.

CParnell · 07-24-2011, 09:45 AM

Looks good man, very unique.

octain · 07-24-2011, 09:54 AM

Although I'm not a huge fan of two tone, looks good! I like anything in the silver shades.
Some of my favorite colors.
Like others have said, get that thing outside in the natural light so we can really see it.

RCbowtie69 · 07-24-2011, 10:01 AM

NICE!!!!!!!Keep on Truckin'

fast50ranger · 07-24-2011, 10:17 PM

That Cowl Hood looks bigger than a 2", or is it just the Camera Angle?
Do you plan on Lowering it?

Looks Great!

**70cst** · 07-24-2011, 10:49 PM

You want the truth? Looks like a class I paint job. Nice job!

ChevLoRay · 07-24-2011, 11:23 PM

No apologies necessary. Outstanding job. That hood looks like a 4-inch "bump", to me.
