Black is beautiful

Well...it is to me.



I painted my grill and chrome surround to match my body cladding. And I thought I'd share.

So Jealous

Looks good, I am in desperate need of a vacation. A friend of mine just moved to North Shore on Hawaii, might get a chance to visit him in October on the way to Kaui.


Cheers,
David

Did you paint the cladding? Mine does not appear to be as dark as yours.

I was just on the Big Island in August. I stayed in Volcano. By the looks of the picture, you must live on the Hilo side, maybe in Puna? It was pretty cool for a few days. I am a lighthouse fan and I drove 2 hrs to get to the lighthouse on the southeast point. I was awfully disappointed to find it to be a maglight on a tower. I guess that flow there took out the old one. Still was beautiful, and got some great shots.

Yes, I painted my cladding.

I live in Northwestern Hilo as you are heading up Saddle Road. Funny description of the "lighthouse"!

Can't really see the effect it had by looking at that picture. This darn camera I have is junk...

I am waiting on my blacked-out HALO projector lensed lights to come in. They should make the truck look a little different than the rest.
