New paint!

Ok, its a 10 foot paint job, thats for sure, but I got tried of it being 7 different colors, none of which where any good together (redish, orange, beige, seafoam green, dark green, grey, bluish something...)



Couple before and afters, notice how blemished it looked before, the whole thing was oxidized orange and only "polished" up in a few spots.





I had hoped to get my bed tomorrow (though now it will probably be two weeks), it's why I started this since the bed is white and I needed them to be the same color so I didn't feel ghetto.



Also it needed it for rust protection, a few spots where starting to show and I don't want to loose my 'rust free' status on this thing.



Couple fun pics:






So who here is awesome enough to know why this is so awesome? lol...






When the bed gets in I'll be posting on the wheel base shortening and adding it and what not. I had really hoped to get it tomorrow but it doesn't look like I will, and next weekend is Easter so... ah well.

The sticker is on the dash as I can see the instrument hump. The second cool pic is the heater core I think

Come on Stephen, one color is for those without imagination. A real man drives a truck with three or more colors.............just kidding, I'm just trying to justify my multicolored behemoth....LOL

lol thanks

If it had had a sweet patina I would have left it, but it looked like it was the wrong kind of sick, like it had leprosy or something.
