Ok, so I added 3 pictures of my truck to my garage, one of my hood, the second is of my bumper the night I got if finished painted and mounted, and the third is right after I got the truck and had the mud tires put on I flexed it out on one of our trails and you can see my black lab in the cam. If you search "Lil Blu" in the garage it should come up. I hope this works

^^This. It's a truck, not a pair of pants.

But to each their own. If you like it, go for it.

" But to each their own. If you like it, go for it." My exact thoughts. Yes I DO plan on driving it into the ground. To 88f150kid The paint looks great I want to keep my option open and find a good pattern (i.e. tree branches,leaves,sticks or randum pattern or digital). The more I see the natural foleage the more I like it.

Are the digital camo pics photoshopped?

What about a vinyl wrap, if you change your mind and don't like it you can always peel it off.

No on the camo.

But like Bob Gervais do a wrap, they way you can peal it off after the novelty wears off.

Or do all olive drab with black trim. I seen a 70s like that, and it looked GOOD

Yes to each there own indeed!!! Thanks for the positive comment on my paint job also!!! All my friends like it also, it was just one of those things that made my truck represent me more. My cousin did this to his truck years ago with green brown and black, and it looked pretty awsome. I think it would be pretty awsome if you did the paint job with green black brown and grey on the body panels with leaves and such, then paint all the chrome and trim pieces a bright orange. I plan I painting my trim orange... Hopefully it will come out ok... And if someone doesn't like it ill just tell them it's ok cause it's my truck. Eather way I like the camo idea on your truck, maybe if you got some more aggressive tires it would make it look even more mean, like you said.

I think the camo would look pretty good. I don't know if I like the digital camo but I think the random idea with foliage and sticks would look sick.. I hate it when people rag on other people's trucks. I'm fine with people voicing their opinions but when you have to talk bad about it who cares what it looks like its not yours. I say if you like it then go for it.

I also think it would look really good with everything blacked out and some aggressive tires.

Hey bob no the digital camo is not photoshop done all by hand on thin cardboard.

Diesel_brad the olive drab idea is a good one was also thinking about that too but I'm really liking either the military pattern or the foleage patterns.

RedDevil460 The blacked out look in california is call being murdered out. Some truck look cool but am going the camo look.

To all I appreciate all the feed back be it positive or negitive.

I'm going to try the foleage look this weekend on the tail gate and see how it looks!!

Sounds even better than black. Are you doing the grill too? I'm assuming so. I wonder how camo rims would look...

Seeing my truck is the xl and didn't come with the chrome grill it will be done as well, the rims will either stay black just flat or camo green,but I think they'll be flat black,or was that a redunded question.
