New Paint.........

well, TJ and others have noticed in some of my pics that since that wreck in january, my drivers finder and bed are darker than the door and ext.cab. i talked to safe auto just now, and they are contacting my body shop about painting that whole side of my truck again, so it ALL matches PERFECTLY. YAY! they are gonna give me a supplement check to make it right. if you ever have a wreck, hope the person has safe auto! the adjusters are GREAT, and they are very fair in my experience. my brother and some others say i should get some sweet silver racing stripes on my cowl hood and top of cab. whatcha all think?

See if you like them. An auto paint store can get you stripe tape in about any width you want. Put the tape on and see how it looks. If you like it get them painted on.

would you get them on the tailgate too? all the ones ive seen with stripes have had a bed cover with stripes on it too. it may look strange on the tailgate without the bed cover though. metal flake or just straight silver?

or you could just run them all the way from front to back. down the front side of the bed, along the bottom of the bed, up the inside part of the tailgate, and then down the back side

And for the side of the cowl. There is another one I like better but I can't find it right now. I will keep trying.

Those are badges for the back of the bed before the light.
I would put those on in 2 shakes of a lambs tale.

Which might be a while if I let any of you fools catch the damn things.

Correction
I shouldn't let any of you young fogies or old whippersnappers catch. We'll be there forever.

Sheep catching is an art and a skill. hehe
