I wish I had your painting skills. I have painted a few cars and trucks but basic paint. stage 1, last one was 2 stage . I just watch youtube and try. I'm gong gloss desert tan for top have of my truck and a flat desert tan for the bottom half with a vinyl stripe where it meets, it will be the second amendment spelled out ending with a subdued flag on the back of the truck. Well that is my plan. I keep over thinking it.

Those look way better than my goober welded 1" square tubing lower mounts....


I would buy those honestly... You might be able to sell those mounts. I didn't see anything like it in my quick search before I bought the tubing for mine.
