BTW could you get some reflection shots when you have a spare chance. I have always wondered what satin paint looks like up close.

The satin gray is pimp. Love that color. Not sure about the offset stripe. I like the idea of the flat black stripe, but the offset bothers me, I might have either done dual stripes set wide like you've got the one, or just a single center stripe. But thats just me.

Otherwise the color is killer, I like the accents you've got too. Like corey I would maybe have the rear bumper step pad black but other than that......

Clear Corners....

If I do the Step pad should I do both of them? The upper and lower?
Corey, I'll take a pic of it today but your not gonna see much, that satin kinda absorbs the light and spreads it out.

Maybe just paint the vertical (flat) parts of the upper and lower pad. IMO it just need a little bit of black back there.

Thumbs up

Here ya go Black!
Not exactly a great job, but you get the idea. (it was hack-job.) I think the mirrors and handles should remain black. That's my opinion. The stripe is good as is as well.

Well, my other name, Mercury fits on plate too. Cause once your motor build is done, it'll be so fast, it's like it has wings.
In meantime, at least using names of elements, run w/. Lead a** !

This has to be 1 of my fav pics of the truck! I also likje the gas station pic (1st one) that Corey quoted later on.
Granted u took after sun dropped, but I'd still like to see in daytime.

I forgot to mention earlier too. Do a black oval accent ring round exhausts to help w/. hiding exhaust soot.

Ok... I have a dumb question. What is protecting that beautiful paint job from the elements? You are in California, and the sun can be a little rough.
