So after another house fell through I kinda fell into a slump and haven't been checking the forums that much. So after a swift kick in the rear by my roommate I got myself motivated to go try again.

I am happy to say I finally have a house. Yes, I have a house. Move in the end of September . Anyhow I'd put more details and pics of that up once I'm moved in.

But now for the truck. After seeing her day after day, nothing changing and too poor to afford upgrades I decided to take her to the shop and do some advertisement work on her.

And I have to say I am quite proud and can't wait to take her out tomorrow. Spent the last two days (Fri: 8 hours in prep and airbrushing,Sat: 4 hours in clearing) so now all I have to do is wait another day and I can wetsand and buff.

Anywho here are some pictures. I have some vid of me airbrushing but I haven't loaded them yet so the pics will have to do for now.

Step one: Layout of design in white basecoat


Step two: Shadowing/outline beginning of detail work




Step three: Color




Step four: Clear



Step five: Installation



Here are some pics of the front I did as well, sorry to work in progress pics of the front.

 

dam that is nice work wish you lived closer to me and i would come have you paint my truck, dam for no one being near iowa

 

damn man what would you charge to do a full paint job

 

fixed

And thanks guys. As for how much I charge. Depends on alot. First are you talking all around repaint or airbrush.

If your talking repaint.

What type? Single stage or dual?
What color? Candy, Pearl, Metallic?
Any body work need done?

There are a number of questions I'd have to get answered before I could give a quote.

 

Looks pretty good, I like the burned off stripes.

I'll take a paint job too.
Repaint.
Dual stage.
Metallic dark blue like the color I have now.
I have a dent in the bottom of my passenger door that needs to be popped out.
I pay in pennies.

 

Mine would be same truck as yours.

Candy red
no airbrush
Body work already done by me
All parts would be removed and so there would be no masking off(Door handles, windows, headlights.)


I just want to see a random price

 

looks great! and yeah, we want to see the vid and pics of you, uh...ummm, i mean the paint job

 

those stripes look sick lol

 

That tailgate looks great & like the hood stripes too

 

Wow that is a bad *** lookin tailgate! And I LOVE the idea you had with the stripes! I love flames AND racin stripes and that brings them both together perfectly
