Neither LB, because we just painted it in my shop at home we decided not to blend it at all. All we painted was the hood, DS fender and bumper. The bumper was tricky to paint as it was off a cheaper truck and was just the black plastic, not an originally painted bumper. There were a few steps involved to get the paint to stick to it. As far as matching, it is pretty darn close, and I'm picky. You basically can't tell unless you know where it was hit and the truck is clean and in the right light. You can just barely see it in the second picture above.

I thought it was a touch darker on theLH side, but may have been the light since I could not see a difference on the RH side. Silver is one of the hardest to match, again excellent job and those 245's gotta go. Have you decided on tires yet?

Oh, what paint did you use?

The paint was just PPG - yeah like I said it is really, reallyclose but if you know where to look you can see a difference, especially in pictures - maybe something to do with the flash???As far as the tires go I'm going to go withthe 285/50/20's, I'll sacrifice a bit of mileage for the look. Anyone have any opinions onwho makes a goodlight truck tire in this size??? Thanks for the kind words guys.
