Wow! Wish I had the skills to paint my truck like yours!

Spanish trails are narrow, my truck seems not blue but blue with white scratches...

You've left the trucks like they were new, very good job!

Wanna paint mine?

wow!! Nice work!! I always wondered what these tops would look like shiny & smooth!!! Were your steel window trim pieces (under the top's front window) salvageable??

Keep the pics coming!! Can't wait to see it together!!

Putting that pearl in the black paint would be awesome, but if you get a scratch in it or need to color match for some reason, wouldn't it be a lot harder than just plain black?

Man you do nice work. I am thinking about painting my truck (starting to rust on the passenger side with holes in the fender and lower panel of cab). Not sure if I want to tackle a project like that though. Your runner is sweet. can't wait to see more photos!
