Cheap paint job (pics)
Hi
I thought I would post a few pictures of my "Macco" paint job $900 CDNand line-x bedliner $600 CDNas I mentioned it in another post. The paint isn't perfect that's for sure but it's a work truck so at least it look's decent. The biggest hassle was because the paint job isn't top quality the line-x guy couldn't do over the rails because it would just pull the paint off with the wire tape they use. The line-x looks way better then it does in the picture, it was a camera phone and raining outside. I am very happy with it. The guy even took a bunch of dents out and filled holes!
I'm not making this post to say my truck is nice or anything. Manyguys here have really nice rigs (jealous :P), mine is just a truck that I wantedto make look decent. (My tires look funny lol)Maybe it will help some people decide what they want to do with their trucks,and how much it costs.
This truck hauls real well. It surprises me when people say they can't even spin the tires....I could roast the tires off it without any problems other then the transmission would probably grenade!

Midnight Runner, why the 04 White Hemi? It's a beautiful truck, but if I had the SRT10 I'd be bored to tears in the Hemi. I'm guessing the SRT is NOT your daily driver. I can't imagine the feeling in that SRT...
[EDIT]
Nvm, I didn't notice that the Hemi was a QC. Passengers and what not...

The paint is base clear and yes that is a vintage 94 regal in the reflection! Good eye!I can't stop laughing at the fact you noticed it!I actually picked it up for $400 and plan on just flipping it for a bit more. Thanks for the compliments guys I really didn't expect them.
