It is looking badass man! I think you should go flat or semi-gloss black on the paint!

heck i really dont mind the black hood/grill/bumper. just put on some 5% tint, paint the roof black and put a black leather bed cover on it and call it done. i wont do that though lol. too many people would think it's an unfinished project.

hell, wrapping is just as expensive as paint, but they can't get my door jambs. i was quoted 2k to wrap. a single stage paint wouldnt be much more.

i'm giving tint a shot for the first time this weekend. bought some 3m 5% precut from ebay and watched a few youtube videos on tinting. maybe a first time paint job will be next.
