You're doing a great job on that truck. All that work is going to pay off, already looking like a sweet ride.

thanks guys. ive got a buddy that is going to do the painting on it any ideas on a color and scheme?

lotsof454sss 02-04-2008 02:48 PM

What ever you do PLEASE do not paint it the same ole colors I see on most S-10's...Go wild man and make it something that when you pull into the track they say "Oh no we're gonna have a bad night" cause here comes that Damn #@#%* colored truck from Lenior City,Tn. :lol:

See ya at the races 8)

what do yall think about flames? he can lay out a set of flames like crazy

lively 02-04-2008 05:14 PM

FLAMES ARE NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!---- :lol: :lol: :lol:

jimbobwie 02-04-2008 07:16 PM

flames are overplayed... but somtimes look nice :D


id say do somthing completely off the wall.... like an amazon woman riding a unicorn swinging an axe :lol: or conan on the hood and 2 half naked chicks down the side.... no way anyone will forget that.. hahaha..

or go flat black and pinstripe the living hell out of it

my plan for my next truck project is painting it olive drab green with pinup girls on my doors *shrug*

to each there own...

good looking project and good luck :)

lotsof454sss 02-07-2008 02:02 PM

Yellow primer and a kick ass truck that don't get beat...forget the body/color just "BAD TO THE BONE FAST"

YES!! I think the most eye catching paint is a well done blacked out car and pinstriping definatly adds to the 'coolness' of a completely black car if done right.

but to each his own and I appreciate any paint job that is done right (no maaco or stick-on carp)

lookingaround 02-10-2008 03:02 PM

i got the radiator support cleaned and painted. got the front clip put back on. got the bed set back on. got it sanded to metal and one side under primer. the bed is a little rougher then i want so im going to try to find another bed. first im going to start on the motor build. i can run the bed for now if i have to. ill try to get pics tomorrow forgot to take camera to the garage today.

olds48 02-11-2008 01:52 PM

Flat black and pinstriping don't look right on late models.But metal flake works on EVERYTHING.Then again,paint it the way you like it and tell anyone that scoffs at it to beat it.
