I am in the roofing trade and this will be my daily driver.Can you picture it with ladders strapped to the back. The reason I went with 4 wheel drive is for weekend quad and camping trips, plus the odd fishing trip here and there. I can't believe all the different colors this paint lets out. Hoave a look at the latest pictures here starting at work truck

VERY nice color, and truck. Is it a single color spray or are there several colors involved?

big wheel fires by the grace of god,
everytime that wheel turns round,
bound to cover just a little more ground.

I am getting so used to fenders that i don't even notice it any more  Thanks AD ,dakota and coroline's I was thinking of buy a new GMC duramax (60 grand ) and it would be something that you have to take to the shop to fix. This way I enjoy my ride, can fix it myself, have air condtioning and there is no computer to give me problems later down the road. So when I am driving down the road honk and wave cause you will see the truck coming from a mile away  | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 196 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 196 | Hi,
I gotta say again that your truck looks GREAT. I wanted to ask you more about the color you used. You said it was a three stage process. I looked that up and understand more about that now, thanks. Where did you get your paint? I'd be very interested in a blue variation of the same process? Thanks.

an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.
