According to the data on the photos on my phone, I took delivery of the truck on May 18th 2019. I am finally at the point that I am ready to turn it over to the paint shop. I have started the ball rolling on getting it into the bodyshop but it my be more toward the end of the year before he can fit me in (fingers crossed). I still have some things that I need to do when it is being torn down and anything else the body man says we need to tweak but I have a list and I don't think these things will be a pinch-point in the process.
I am about to start putting together a quick document outlining what I all want done and how I want it done. Things like paint colors, where to transition the paint changes and other things that will make sure we are all on the same page and hopefully make it easier for the shop to understand what I am asking them to do.
I have also been using Ai tools to help me visualize what the truck will look like based on my choices. Ai can be a bit unpredictable regarding colors but I finally hit on the exterior color that I was looking for in one rendering. I don't know the actual name or paint code but after several renderings I got a picture that looks real close to what I want. Now I'll just have to go the paint store and see if we can get a few candidates for some spray-outs.
The pics that I posted are of the truck as it currently sits and the one that shows the color combo that I am shooting for.... 7 years. Like the frog said, “Time's fun when you're having flies”.
