Before and After
Thought I would show my 83 before and after paint, bought the truck new and she's been my DD since, waiting for the 60 day mark so I can buff out the paint and throw some wax on her, just washed this morning.

Re: Before and After
You forgot to put the Raiders plate back on. Or are you defecting to the 49ers with the new color scheme?
