New paint

84liftedS10 · 09-17-2008, 10:32 PM

Got this truck last october for $300, so this last summer i decided to do some body work and some painting. Not bad for a $50 buck paint job and my first time painting. she is not done but look pretty dang good.

***Donahue*** · 09-17-2008, 10:35 PM

i feel like a trend setter...(waiting for chris to chime in)

of course i dig the color, or i wouldnt have put it on my own truck.

now just flat black out all the chrome like i did.

DieselS10 · 09-17-2008, 11:39 PM

Looks good man!

AmosM823 · 09-17-2008, 11:41 PM

Looks pretty damn good for $300. Nice work.

Blackie · 09-17-2008, 11:43 PM

Looks good.....is it rattle can or did you spray it?

PowerDown · 09-17-2008, 11:50 PM

Nice job... I"m going with rattle can... you can see some streaks... but it's still a good job

I'm a fan of OD green too. Chris and Donahue's truck looks sick. W/some flat black accents it's clutch

Baggey22 · 09-18-2008, 12:15 AM

I like the blue better, change it back.

j/k looks great!

tfpets · 09-18-2008, 01:01 AM

Why is the bed higher than the cab??

crazy91s10 · 09-18-2008, 01:02 AM

makes me wanna buy some rattle cans and take care of my rust! looks good man!

Daveman2 · 09-18-2008, 01:04 AM

I like, nice job, it looks pro

eutechnyx · 09-18-2008, 01:25 AM

looks good now replace those hinge pins and shit to get those doors to line up with the bodyline.

84liftedS10 · 09-18-2008, 01:47 AM

haha, no it was with a gun not cans. lol but since it was my first paint job, I was'nt sure how to set everything up so for about the first half of the paint job, I had the presure up to high and it made it ruff in some places so i have to get 2000/3000 grit sand paper and go over where its darker. lol and well the bed is higher cause it has full size chevy leaf springs lol. RUFF RIDE LOL

84liftedS10 · 09-18-2008, 02:08 AM

I dont know why I said the springs had anything to do with my higher bed. lol cause they just lift the frame lol. but I dont know why its higher and if you look from the back the bed leans to the left too but it BUGS ME. so Me and some buddys are going to find the problem.

wrekd · 09-18-2008, 02:01 PM

My guess would be the rubber body mounts are bad. The bed weighs less so they're probably not squished down as much.

ChrisInVT · 09-18-2008, 02:29 PM

Ya damn copycat

got_u_sick · 09-18-2008, 02:34 PM

Looks good, I dig it.

84liftedS10 · 09-18-2008, 02:51 PM
