I have a 2000 standard cab short bed 2wd 1500. I am thinking about going Old School with it. I am going to drop it (some how) take of my chrome wheel covers and paint them red. I am going to go meet my body guy this weekend and see how much it will cost for a new paint job. I am thinking satin black. I like the primer look but don't want it to fade. I have alot of plans for it and think it will look good. Whats everyones opinion on my new plan?
this is the before pic

 

Sounds pretty cool man. I was wanting to go the same route with mine except I was gonna put some old school steelies with wide whitewalls on mine. Dupont has a line of paint out called hot rod black that is intended for the satin suede look of primer but holds up as well as a basecoat/clearcoat system. I think it'd look good flat black with some hot rod style white and red pinstriping. If you go this route, definitely get some pics.

 

I always go for an "old school" look. Sounds great to me!
If I ever painted mine I wouldn't mind a black primer job and red steel wheels with whitewalls.....

 

I like the idea of the DuPont hot rod black. It would even look good with colormatched wheels and do some cool pinstriping.

 

my old truck was primer with some steelies before i sold it . i like the hot rod look . id love to throw some 20 inch smoothies on this truck

 

I love it man, I've been wanting to do mine satin black for a long time....maybe with a retro pinstripe or something like that.

 

sounds like an awesome plan. i've thought about getting rallye wheels for my truck instead of 18"s or 20"s. however they will be heavy. i love old school looks too, something different u know.

 

Maybe some Moon wheel discs or Torque Thrusts
