I think you are very brave for getting a two-tone paintjob from Maaco.

 

[Jd0gg919]

Were you going for a Harley-Davidsonish 2 tone? If so it looks pretty good from the pics.

 

[ringpop1]

I was just going for the Sunset orange and black two tone but when I seen it on my truck, the first thing I thought of was the Harley Davidson truck

small and kinda hard to see.

 

[rlfknlorangers]

i agree with MONMIX. to small to pick a maaco paint job apart. they can do some good "5 foot" work but once you get up on them most look like crap. would like to see some better pictures of your truck

There is some orange peel. I am getting another person to wet sand and buff it. Maaco said they would not do it. I was talking about the colors.

I mean, the colors look fine and everything but I hope you are considering a pinstripe and some mods to go along with it. In my opinion, you can't really pull that color scheme off on a stock truck.

Hey I though this was the color you were after :

I have someone that is going to air brush a pin stripe design on for me and I am ordering my wheels next week. I do not want to get any larger then 22'' rims though

I tried. They did not have the ringpop orange in the book

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

Put up some bigger pictures! It looks to be pretty good though. I guess now time is a factor.

HA HA HA!

I think it looks good so far. Maaco is hit or miss. My Mustang was done by Maaco, and I did all of the prep work before- and it looked like a very good body shop job. If you let them do everything, it generally is a good 10 footer. Props for something different!

Post pics in a year...

 

[Flounder]

Alright.

Maaco sucks. Yadda. Rinse. Repeat.

Seriously, though. Can we give the guy a little love for a unique paint scheme?

With the right rims, that'd look fantastic. I'm agreeing with the folks who thought it looks like the Harley Davidson paint. As such, though, slap on some chrome 20s.

 

[IZwack]

Just so there's no misunderstanding (and so Flounder doesnt take me to court, or beat me up), I think it looks good .

 

[Burns]

I would like to see bigger pic.

It looks great from what i can see

 

[Blacksheep Josh]

Having looked at this again, the only thing I'd change is the amount of orange, or maybe do the fender lines black as well. But overall it's awesome. I agree with above, get the right rims and that will look pretty darn good.

Ever thought about getting rid of the runnign boards?

You have to get shots from the edges and from areas like along the bottom of the doors.... but the thing looks great!
