If you like to clean, clean, buff, and wet sand and clean do not paint shiny black. I love it when is clean but its a job keeping there. Thank God for Jax Wax.
It's beautiful when it's done - and done right, but it shows every spec of dust, every water droplet, AND every little low spot and ding you didn't quite get feathered out all the way.
Black and chrome is absolutly beautiful, and your truck is no exception. the only reason its out of the question for my 50. is i do not have the talent to get my patches perfect. and like julie touched on, every flaw shows. im kinda gettin fond of rustolium brown primer anyway lol.
I agree the rust look, primered, flat is great in my book and easier to keep. I worked on cleaning the truck the morning before the show and then have to mist and shine on arrival and with all the pollen around here its just silly to clean as much as I do, but hey I could have been at work. I am not complaining, its my stress release anyways.
Thanks brother, how by the way I talked to Tim and ordered one of those bodies for my kid. I guess I will have two black trucks to clean up then. He he. Thanks for your help on that.
I bought a new black-----pick up in 97 it sure was pretty when it was cleaned up
but i never thought that black would show everything so well.no more black trucks for me
but yours looks great.
I have a black Excursion and even dirty it looks good. Don't get me wrong it looks awesome just after a good wash, but i'll take it either way. It beats all the other colors. My truck is red and in my opinion almost worse when dirty.
I would consider painting a F100 with the metallic black as it seems to hides a lot. I have Ram 2500 with 2 tone paint -- black pearl and metallic beige rockers, and it, surprisingly, looks clean most of the time.
