Default Want to paint truck

warning: i did the photoshopping in a hurry so it is not pretty.

I am not really asking any questions or anything. But I want to paint it sunburst orange and do the trim black. It is on my long list of things to do (SAS, get a 5.9, etcetc) but it is one of the cheaper things.

as is

I like the sunburst orange with the black -- a good choice.

Well I don't really care about maintenance. I get plenty of pinstripes and wear them proudly (when I take the time to powerwash the mud off that is ). But it will look nice for a while, then it will just look badass lol. I just like working on the brute and making it mine.

Right now I am trying to do a drivers side freeze plug. It is not going so well lol.
