Is it just me, or is the bumper full of orange peel?
I like the color, but the combo of it on the truck with the white... I think it looks goofy.
I think if the whole truck were that color it would be pretty sick.
I don't know your level of painting skill, but props to you for doing it yourself.

although that would never of been my first choice, i dont think it looks to bad. I agree with the others though, the mirrors look a little out of place and would flow much nicer if they were white. I also think maybe a nice grey line splitting the blue and white up may look pretty sharp and tie everything together.

Personally I go to car and truck shows big and small to see what people think up. I may not like what they did, but I respect the thought, innovation, planning, and execution that is put into a mod. I may not spend my time doing what they did but I may get an idea to use later. I say good job and keep up the info flow and pictures. Lets see what you're doing. Thanks for letting me put my 2 cents in 
and ya'll have a nice day.

I think the exterior looks great. Personally I'd have painted the mirrors white, and not blue. But as long as you like it.
Interior, I'd have to see it in person. I'm sure it looks cool, just hard to tell in the pictures.

truck looks pretty damn good overall. your truck, not mine, so I'm not goin to bust your chops. I like the idea
just a couple of things
1. the mirrors don't flow...maybe should try them in white...we'll see how they work once the fender vents are installed
2. the tonneau cover doesn't fit the over-all image IMO
3. interior just doesn't...flow...I can't think of a way to describe it in words.
oh yeah, the reason you got flamed was because of your presentation. it was 5 pages of sorting through b.s. to see the final product. kind of a bad approach to a good idea

That is going to be hard to sell. I think it looks alright, but if I had the skills you had with painting blue would be the last color I'd choose. No offense, kudo's to you for doing the work and that to me means more than any opinion.

i love the color, i just think that you should either A. paint the whole truck that color or B. Get some ghost flames with that color going on the hood/down the side to kinda bring everything toghther... and as everyone else said i think mirrors should be white but +2 for being original

As for the paint, I'm not really feeling the whole scheme.....It lacks something.
But good job on doing it yourself

yea i have to do some wetsanding for that orange peel. i meen it is my first paint job and i think it came out perfect for my skill level. all the overspray is gone now with a few hours of laquer thinner. to be honest i love the blue but i might have went a little overboard with it. i kinda want it to be black now.. but oh well its definetly gonna catch more attention. probaby more looks than a ferrari haha. no just kidding.
