Very nice! I have seen a lot of flat black Blazers, but I like the route you went. I'm starting to shy away from the solid flat black because it seems pretty common, so I'm starting to lean towards Kustom's flat pearl carnival red or "flat twilight metallic black".

Visit your local auto paint supply store and save some money.
Every town has one.

eastwood stuff is all over priced and they don't make any of it.

yes a long time ago eastwood was a great company but it was sold and all that is left is the name. Everyting they sell is someone elses product with their name on it for a premium price. Half the stuff they sell in their catalogs can be found at harborfreight for 1/3 the price.

that whole company is all hype.

Its your money and you can waste it if you want but they don't have anything special going for them but a once great name.

don't believe everything you hear on TV, they are paid or given the products to say that, & car mags are nothing but one giant TV add.

don't be a sheep

Here's a buddys 91 454 S-10:

I love the flat black look, just makes the truck look smooth and clean.
