Yeh, he had mentioned something about it at one time, saying that it had a tendency of shrinking, and assured me it wasn't it!! Yep, it will be white with Tangelo Pearl and Charcoal pin-striping on the back of the tailgate, and front of the hood. Should look pretty sweet when finished. When the truck is finally finished down the road, it will have 3pc wheels with charcoal painted centers, and a C6 Z06 brake conversion, with the calipers painted Tangelo Pearl. Long way down the road before that is done though!

Tomorrow I'll be going to his shop to assist, and watch the painting of the bed and wing. And I promise, tomorrow, I will be taking my real camera to take more pictures!!

Thanks. Yeh, he's usually pretty good finishing around his original guesstimated time frame! Yes, it is Summit white, aka Oxford white. Same paint code, just different name.

Just got back to the house about 30 minutes ago. The original plan was to have the bed, tailgate and wing sprayed and cleared by the end of the day, but guess what, it's not! Kept finding little things that needed to be taken care of, and before we knew it, it was getting late. Took the camera with me today though and got a little bit better pictures. He also let me spray the first coat of color today! Will be adding the last coats tomorrow followed by the clear. Will be taking pictures then too. It's getting close!!!
It's funny, the pictures with my camera, aren't too much better than my cellphone! lol
