Bluesy,
Wow, that just comes together perfectly. The design/layout is perfect for the body.
Do you use a vinyl cutter to create masks? The curves are incredibly perfect and the dither pattern in the blue to black (dark blue) in the graphic on the side is simply dead on.

cosmo.........nope he doesn't have a computer hooked up to the net....
cranky..... I have to admit that the graphics are cheaters. Team Orion inside stickers. It is the first time I've tried them. I won't use them again. I'd rather do my own painting but I just had to try them out. I like the effects -- yep the curves are perfect and the dots are cool as well. The color is custom mixed Parma Faskolor Pearlescent Blue with a splash of Pearl Black. I like the way it turned out.
Thanks for the comments.

Oh man your killing me. I never seen that sticker set before, so I thought it was just incredible paint. Well the truck still looks great.

I added some automotive window tint to blacken out the windows. That stuff isn't easy to use. It's very thin and tough to get all the air bubbles out. I tried to use the "window cleaner" trick but that started eating the paint away. Saved it though.......
Comments???

I think it's a Parma body..... I tossed the packaging out. I'm pretty sure it's Parma....

Oldster..........that feels funny to call someone "oldster". Cuz I think I'm the oldest on this board. That is my sixth paint job---not counting the very first brush job (which was really ugly). It is something I really like to do but don't get enough time (I'm working on the road 25 days a month).
Thanks for the comments!!!
BTW...the boyfriend is a really nice guy.
