Default Got the truck painted

I just picked the truck up from the body shop after having them remove the two tone. It's a crappy day out so it's dirty and I still have to reinstall the flares and steps. Here's some photos from day one till now

First day


3 Weeks old, 6 inch ProComp, and 35x12.5-18


8 inch lift, 20 inch Rockstars, painted flares


Today, painted monotone

Now it looks like an SLT! (just ribbin' ya). Seriously the truck looks great! Get some ranch hand replacement bumpers for the front and rear and that truck will be the truck I can only dream mine will be! One day...

Why didn't you just buy the monotone black and save yourself the trouble? I'm partial to the two tone paint jobs on the Laramie's myself, but to each his own. Your truck does look pretty damn good though.

At the time I got my truck I wanted a black Sport but couldn't find one anywhere that had leather buckets, sunroof and Mygig. I decided to get a truck with the interior options I wanted and settle for the two tone since the color would be easier to change after. It only cost me $250 to have the flares sanded smooth and body painted at the bodyshop at my dealer.

Do you still have the flares on? Its hard to tell in the last pic, but it looks like they're off. $250 ain't too bad though.

They're off in the pic. I didn't have time to put them back on after work. Part of the cheap price was I had to strip the truck, so after putting the bed, bumper and fuel filler back on I wanted to get out of there lol

Looks great. I'm not partial to black wheels though... because they look dull and bland.... unless you're standing next to them to see the details. That's just me and I would have put chrome wheels on it. Looks good either way though and is a pimp truck. Congrats!
