Evan, It looks great! Come down and paint my truck when your done. lol. Get some rubbing compound on those headlights to get them clean again. A little fine rubbing compound and about 5 minutes of wax on, wax off and you got nice, clean headlights again.

The departments I work with all have stupid colors. Like baby blue, yellow and black, etc. What the heck ever happened to red fire apparatus?
BTW, I have a chrome grill. It's not flawless but maybe nice enough for now...

Thanks for the offer. I think I'll wait and get a new grill and headlight trim later on. More important things to buy right now.

I got the other side painted yesterday. Just have to finish up the pinstriping today and it'll be lookin' good again.
Thanks Glenn. I love the two tone paint on these trucks. My dad's '96 F250 that he had when I was younger was Touriador Red with a white stripe. Man that was a beautiful truck! Now he has a '05 Cummins Dually that's dark purple/maroon. We call it "the bruise".

I saw a super duty with the reverse paint scheme from Evan today (red and white locations swapped). Just doesn't look right on the newer trucks. A stripe down the bottom looks ok on them, but the old fashioned 2 tone just doesn't work on the newer body style. Wonder why. Too rounded maybe?

I was thinking about doing a silver stripe when I was considering colors. But I like the red, I don't see many with my color scheme. I see quite a few with silver stripes, blue stripes, and a few dark red stripes. I like the bright red.
