Looks good. Keep an eye of those SS Bed caps.. my experience is they shake and eat up the paint!

should have had the whole bed painted, you can see where the paint is different colors.

That turned out good fdime!

But I agree with coobies, they didn't do a good job on blending the paint. You can definitely tell.

Have you ever thought about doing a black pinstripe between the toreador red and tan? I think it would look nice, instead of just having a sharp cutoff like it does now. Plus it would tie into the tailgate gap.

I will do a PS of it tonight.

other then the gap at the bottom of the lights, i like it, its different, you will need lights/reflectors that face the side in the rear to be legal tho

Thanks guys. Let's try to respond to everyone haha.

4.6: Ihope the caps don't move, there's 5 rolls of super strength 3M on the bed rails haha.

Migdaddy: Yea I love the way the lights look, thanks. Idk I kinda like the contrast of the caps. Easy fix tho if not.

Coobies: That's exactly why I'm not 100% satisfied. Gonna get him to either try again or repaint the rockers all the way around the truck.

Dirtyd: there is a pinstripe that goes between the 2, you can see it everywhere else on the truck. My truck thread (Just Wanna Share) has the explanation as to why it's like it is for now.

Patman: what gap? Iirc, there's actually more space under the stock tails...I must be misunderstanding And no thanks on the lights/reflectors, no state inspections here and cops here aren't petty so I think I'll be fine.

Stealth: Thanks, yea I'm tryna do a lotta different stuff not build a cookiecutter show truck.

THANKS GUYS!!

And honestly, the paint doesn't match but those pics make it look wayyy off. It's not at all. High contrast

looks good, but the tailgate seems like its sitting up a little high? maybe its just the SS caps. And the lower beige/tan looks a bit off.. maybe just lack of the black stripe

what u mean sittin up high? all the bodylines line up.. even in the pics

if ur talkin bout the tailgate cap maybe, thats the OEM cap jus sanded, it doesnt come down as far as the SS side caps. and yea, the missing stripes are sooo noticeable, that first pic makes it look like it's like 999999999 shades off too tho

I like the red and tan combo but I'm not sure about the silver caps though. Those caddy lights look great too!
