Hello... I have a 2004 reg cab long bed in Almond... Hate the color but got a great deal. Now I am ready to have the bodywork done and have it painted.... But I have a Couple of questions.

1- Are there any paint designs that can make it appear smaller or I guess shorter?
2- I am having it painted by my High school I went to... They are doing it for next to nothing for labor but said if I want a certain type of paint or clear coat I should provide it... What brands give the best results?
3- Can chrome be painted with lasting results?
4- Might be the cheap way, but I am not doing any performance mods so is a functioning hood scoop beneficial... or could I buy the scoops add them to my current hood and just get the looks I want with out any problems??? or should I buy a hood?
5 Last but not least... I want to have the Linex liner re-sprayed because it is in bad shape... Should I do the bodywork and then have it resprayed? or will the liner fill in the dents

 

uh... did you say you were having your high school paint your truck?? what kind of high school did you go to that had a truck sized spray booth?? and who's going to be doing it? some punk kid? this would make me nervous...

and i think line-x has a lifetime warranty dont they? check that out before you spend the money...

 

I have known the teacher for 13 years no so I trust him and I saw the quality of some of the jobs from last year and I saw no runs or peeling.... So they do a good job... and I was one of those punk kids in the Electrical program years ago...

They do have a warranty but the guy I spoke to said it was only for the original owner

 

yeah, i was one of those punk kids 2 years ago... if you saw quality work, and trust the guy then id go for it.
i knew line-x had a warranty, just wasnt sure of the terms

if you arent going to do any mods, i think a stick on hood scoop would be fine

sorry im no help at all with any of the other stuff... what color do you want to paint it?

 

I am leaning towards a color I saw on here a few months ago It was a real dark Green if I go with Solid color... But not sure if it is recommended 2 tone... Could be Blue and Silver Combo.... Wanted Red but Brother has that.... and not Patient enough to take care of Black.

I trust the guy because he kicks you out of the program if you are not "in" to painting cars and the jobs were better than some bodyshops I have seen.

 

dark green would be a nice color. like real dark green so when u park in the shade it turns black

 

I saw a dodge around here the other day that was silver on the bottom and faded to blue on the top, that thing was AWSOME!!

 

pick a different two tone than whats out there. something original. stick out
