**Clyde65** · 12-01-2016, 10:49 AM

Lots of blue...but I love blue, looks great!

jchav62 · 12-01-2016, 11:27 AM

I like! Very nice work.

**jayoldschool** · 12-01-2016, 02:02 PM

So... much... blue...

ELMatador · 12-01-2016, 03:22 PM

Haha yeah it's a lot of blue, but it looks really good in person. I would have broke it up a bit more but that's what the customer wanted.

jtrichard · 12-01-2016, 05:42 PM

Could may be use a little more BLUE LOL..... LOOKS GREAT

canadian_diesel1964 · 12-01-2016, 06:06 PM

Looks amazing....

**Captainfab** · 12-02-2016, 01:09 AM

I will have to agree on a bit of overload on the blue, and I really like blue. Regardless that is a very nice truck.

ELMatador · 12-07-2016, 10:38 AM

Here is the new wood bed recently installed.

**jayoldschool** · 12-07-2016, 01:13 PM

What wood and stain is that?

**The Rocknrod** · 12-07-2016, 01:56 PM

What's the info on that seat plaid material? Do they make different colors?

66C10LB · 12-07-2016, 02:09 PM

Personally, I love the over-the-top blueness of it.
(I am also interested to know what was used for the bed wood and coating)

Mathew21 · 12-07-2016, 04:27 PM

Beautiful truck

rickoner · 12-07-2016, 05:30 PM

Beautiful truck man. Like others have said, that's a lot of blue. I think a chrome grill would really pop on that deep of blue. Not my truck though. Either way, I hope the owner enjoys the hell out of it.

Samz · 12-07-2016, 08:43 PM

awesome!

62 Barnfind · 12-07-2016, 09:23 PM

Nice Job!

realvc · 12-08-2016, 08:15 AM

Very, very nice and cool blue too.

jbgroby · 12-08-2016, 09:14 AM

Job Well Done !!

Greenlee · 12-08-2016, 09:41 AM

I wanted to chrome the grill since it's not reproduced but the customer didn't want to sprint for that unfortunately.

ELMatador · 12-09-2016, 02:46 AM

Actually guys that's not a stain. First we burned the wood to make the grain more visible. We put a burgundy candy in the clear that we shot. We sprayed about four heavy coats of clear on the wood three of which were with the root beer candy, then we put blue pearl in the next two coats to give it a subtle pop that can only be seen at certain lighting and angles. Next sanded it, sprayed three more heavy coats, sanded it again then re cleared it with four heavy coats of clear.
