Paint pictures

Here are some pictures of before and after my paint job. This thing looks as smooth as glass!

I will add badges and the rubber molding after thanksgiving or Christmas.

That looks great! It's even the color I want my truck my to be

Very impressive. Your truck looked as bad as my 1996 Dodge looks now.

Ohhh that's nice...I'm jealous

I was quoted about $4k just to paint mine. How much did that set you back If you don't mind?

[CUMMINSDIESELPWR]

very nice

I only had the cab painted this time. It cost me 1500 which included labor for the cab and all materials to complete the whole truck including the topper. The bed, tailgate, and topper are going to cost me 500 more. I will be into the whole paint job for 2K! The guy is a good friend and he said the normal cost for the whole truck would be 5-6K

It's nice having friends that can do work like that, I was quoted 5-7k from the local body shop to paint my truck.

Nope! They are VMS racing tinted LED clearance lights 

Thanks for the compliments everyone! It took a lot longer than expected to complete but he did a great job. I can't wait to get the rest of it painted

I sure remember them. Also where I grew up was Earl Schieb paint jobs. Both are the same thing.

I'd just Hammerite it with a rattle can.

Very nice.  I've loved that color since it came out.  I will likely repaint mine in that color with the silver two tone in a year or two when I get moved back to Colorado.
