I think it looks much better...but I am biased.... opinions, critiques? I know its not perfect... but not bad for $15 in paint, and 2 hrs.

*sorry about the pic sizes...my wifey is the photographer...lol

Nice rear bumper...

Seriously though, are you planning on doing the top half cause it looks like there's a lot of overspray on the right rear quarter...? Just curious.

LOL...ya like that? hey, don't knock it...it got me a sticker. Theres no over spray, I think its just dirt or mud, I did this a few days ago. I am going to do the whole truck tho....after I get my new tailgate, then a 4" tube for the rear bumper.

Ya know...I was thinking that when I first got the truck, but it is mostly used as my dd, and I think the wife is gonna learn to drive this when I get my p/u done, and she like the boards. If I continue to drive it tho....they are coming off. Btw... this one will not see much off roading, other than a dirt road, or fishing trail. I've decided to beef up the 93, lift it, and wheel the hell outta it, I prefer the auto's off road.

very nice; honestly I had to look twice to see what was painted... it's that clean of a rattle-can job, lol

what happened to the left-rear?

if you do the hole truck, be sure to put some clear-coat on it though, that way it's a good use of the money and time, not a waste...

:guitar:

lol, The left rear was like that when I bought this $600 truck, the p.o. said someone hit him there.

When I do the whole truck, I will clear coat it, I will also prob use a sprayer, and not the rattle can, this was just meant to cover some soft spots and get me thru winter.

iamsuperbleeder 09-12-2008 02:00 PM

right on, looks good man

gees, $600, can't beat that with a stick... maybe a 2x4 though... but still, wudda steal!

but remember, half the paint job should be prep work (sand, primer, etc)... that is if you really want it to stay for a long while...

Team420 09-12-2008 02:21 PM

nope...she's a 4x4....I thought I got a great deal, all I had to do was, reconnect the exhaust and add a $2.00 gasket, all 4 ball joints, the idler arm, plugs, wires, cap,rotor, and some minor rust touch up.

Jay351 09-12-2008 02:53 PM

Good call on the blacked out front end ;) Looks much better!

well I see she's a 4x4 by seeing your CV boots in you flex pic...

I should have specified... 2x4 as in a length of wood 2 inches tall and 4 inches wide...

my joke failed...

Team420 09-13-2008 04:49 AM

lol...ok, I was a little slow yesterday. I was curious as to why anyone wouldl think it was a 2x4, I couldnt even imagine owning one.... waste of a truck if you ask me, but to each their own.
