Default Sneak a peak pics of new paint

So I snuck in some pictures of the truck while it was waiting to get a bedliner put in. She's been at the bodyshop for the last month and a half getting some paintwork and bodywork done to fix the hail damage.

These are pics before detail and wet sanding and taken on my phone. let me know what you guys think.

I wanna leave the grill on there I think. The headlights are going to go to black as soon as I order them. I plan on the top of the bumper being black soon as well (it was supposed to be now but the body shop dropped the ball and I don't wanna wait any longer). Down the road I might go to a painted grill and bumpers. I've only seen it in person long enough to take these pictures so I'm sure lots of ideas will come to mind over the weekend and through you guys.

Thanks Frenchy. I wasnt sure how the lines would look on the back because I went into the body shop to tape them off and the painter said he thought they should be straight... to quote him actually he said "if you go that high with the black it's going to look ****ing gay". I let him do his straight lines on the tailgate which you'll see better in tomorrows pics and I'm gonna go ahead and say imo my idea was MUCH better than his
