Before and after

I just finished this about a week ago and I still have to do the hood yet but i'm pretty happy with the turn out. Poor mans paint job. All I know is that the green that was originally on here when I bought it was the worst paint job I have ever seen. I think it was painted in a wind storm. This is the 4th color for this truck and I hate not being able to strip it down but as I said poor mans paint job. Sorry for the crazy sized pics!

Well I almost hate to say it but it was SEM trim black. I used when I worked at a body shop for trim panels on repaired cars. The paint lays out really well but you have to use alot of it. I still need to go over the whole truck again. Best thing about it is that if something happens to the paint I just have to touch it up.

Thanks! I appreciate it!

The SEM stuff is great and so is your truck! Nothing "poor" about it.

Certainly looks good from where I'm sitting. I'm sure it turns lots of heads.
