If anybody does this can you post up. Would like to see how it turns out.

Jmiller022 · 05-31-2013, 11:14 PM

I will be in the next few weeks once I pick a color. I'm leaning towards grey, I think the orange and black would look halloweenish.

I have always been a fan of the orange (my truck is 524 red orange), but I like it with brighter highlights....white(mine) or chrome.

Having said that, you took the words right off my keyboard. Halloweenish! So, if you go with black highlights, my vote is for the white! That dodge(?) you did in white black gives a good idea how your truck might look, and that's my pick.

haha ok. Sorry my opinion conflicts with yours. You must be right. Spray away

Likeaboss302 · 06-01-2013, 07:35 PM

A bit of advice on Plastidip, SPRAY THAT STUFF ON THICK. One coat won't cut it, I had a few chips in my bumper before I took that off with only one coat. Also, the more coats you put on, the easier it is to take off. It's about the same material as a trash bag, but with one coat it rips really easily and sticks to corners like nothing else. I vote orange on the colour, but I have no idea on availability. I've also heard that spraying thick coats helps the texture be more smooth. Best of luck.

I really like the orange but, I just can't picture it with black accents. I agree that chrome would look good.

They dont make it specifically, but there are charts that have been made to show you what colors to mix to get it.

bump!!

Jerryrig · 06-03-2013, 03:26 PM

My .02 is....

the orange would look like a halloween truck, and it seems like everybody has the black matte look, the blue looks like your car is wrapped in painters tape...

but my vote is for the white....with black accents, it would look AWESOME!!!

Jmiller022 · 07-02-2013, 03:46 PM

I just placed the order for my 5 gallons of camo green and 1 gallon of matte black.

I will do the wheels, bowtie, wipers, door handles, vent window trim, and headlight bezels in black and everything else in the camo green.

I hope to have the rest of my prep work done and everything sprayed in the next 2 weeks.

Stay tuned.

Ive done all the body work and have the gallons of camo green in my garage, just have not had time to get it on there yet. Ive been really busy at work.

BugzC10 · 07-26-2013, 09:09 AM

OK...just letting you know you have peeps watching and waiting for the big reveal...

Whenever I get to that point, I'm considering that bright blue with a white top. Something like this.

That looks good, If mine was fleetside Id do two-toned as well.

BugzC10 · 07-26-2013, 10:03 AM

With a fleet side there are a lot more two tone choices. Mine is also a stepper.
