Two weeks and three paint sprays later...

Well After about a year of not having paint. It sort of peeled off in sheets I ran around with a multicolored 4runner. I sent it to get painted. It was painted the first time and they missed a couple dents. the sanded and painted a second time and well missed the dents again. sanded and painted the truck a third time and got the dents they missed but somehow managed to get my truck covered in overspray while shooting another vehicle......
I rather remove the overspray myself. I didn't expect a diamond but at least to get what I paid for. And yes it was painted at earl scheib.

This what it looked like when I first bought it.

I have a get out of jail card I carry, But I took alot of consideration to my behavior before painting it this color. Primary reason was neighbor complained my truck was too ugly it looked like superjoes' 3rd picture from the bottom for the better part of a year so I thought I would do her a favor and paint it so that she could see it when I parked it in front of her house.

She's not that much to look at in my opinion. What is funny is she is ĊĊĊĊing 3 different guys right now. The newest addition knows about the other two and is over almost every night the nights he doesn't come by to get some the other two are on an occassional rotation. She has one just for show when family comes by. That one is by far the dimmest. He actually accussed (sp) me of hitting his car because there was a scratch on my bumper. I asked him how it was possible since we had both been out side since he arrived and my truck had been able to rull up hill and do it. While I was unloding ceramic tile from a pallet and putting it in the house while they were watching us.
