All jamed up! 4 coats base, 3 coats clear. Dark Jade Polly.
Going to let it dry tonight then spray the bottom of the door sills, and the "leaf traps" (whatever you call them) with Raptor liner.

Man... Heliguy. I'm green with envy. Pun intended. Hehehe. Now just so you know. We all want pics of the wifey driving that truck with that BIG grin on face. Or better yet... a... video.

Does this count?! HAHA. I'm ready to be driving it already! This was at the beginning of April, thankfully we are now putting the final color on and hopefully final parts are in......

Yeah, that'll do for now. Sometimes I wish my wife would share my passion for these trucks. But then I'm thankful on another hand that she doesn't. Cause if she did, my bet is we'd fight a lot more often over who takes what vehicle when. However if she did my trucks might get restored faster though. And she'd have to learn to drive a stick to be able to drive my trucks. Hehehe.

Awesome work! That thing is going to look sweeeet. I love your idea with the raptor liner on the cab. Might have to steal that one from ya
That color looks amazing! Where'd you get it from? Also, do you wipe off the primer with anything before you spray your paint on it (to make sure its clean)?
Keep up the great work!
