Graphics done....Re:Finally at the painters

Finally got my truck back Sunday morning. They werent going to be able to finish what I wanted by Mon. I needed it back to go to work. They are going to finish the rest later this month when Iam on vacation.
Still to be done: Painted bedrails and tailgate rail and door handles to match silver on truck.
They are also going to extend the graphics out on the front bumper corners. Also going to paint the silver part you see between the tailgate and bumper.
Heres a couple pics I took today.




Later................

That is by far one of the more custom paint jobs I've seen......and my jealousy is kicking in bad!


I like it. IT's Different, which is why I'm in love with it.

Nice job.

Looks like they did a very good job, from the pics. Just not my cup of tea. Way to busy IMHO. Not saying it isn't nice. Just not my thing.

I was watching your previous thread while it was at the painters and I wasn't sure what I'd think of the finished paint job (not that my opinion matters), but it looks great. What drop kit did you use and what size are your tires?

Thanks for the comments guys. I know its not everyones cup of tea, but I wanted something different with some color. Very happy with the turn out.
What drop kit did you use and what size are your tires?
The rims are 20" Daat-90's with Goodyear Eagle Gts 285/50r20's on them.
The drop is a McGaugheys 2"/4". Absolutely love the ride with this drop kit.

OK you knew I would have to comment about your truck!

OMG that ROX! Nuff said!

I am not much on fancy whoop-to-do paint jobs but they did an outstanding job!

Very well done!

VERY NICE JOB ON THE PAINT JOB! That turned out great! I've been watching you in the past showing pictures of it being done, turned out really good!

NOW...gotta loose the Mini Cooper Mirrors you got on that truck. Way to small to go on that truck, looks goofy. (just my 02 cents) Paint jobs awesome though!

Looks great! Much better than the original sketches you posted. It doesn't look like grass!

It looks good....the only thing I would suggest is when it goes back have them continue the graphix through the door jams and the area between the bed and cab. That what make it a truely great paint job and win you some trophies.

I wish you'll could really see the bottom color better. In
the pics it looks like a flat burgandy. Its really more like of a pearl root beer color. Again, for the mirrors I like the sport truck look. I agree they do look small from the back, the front looks alot better. The mirrors I had were hideous. Looked like big squares. I like the stock mirrors on the next step up trim package. Mine were STX manual mirrors.
Anyway here's a better pic of the bottom color.
