Great job! And the same color I plan to paint my 55.2! Yellow looks so awesome on those trucks. What color exactly is that? I plan on using the Corvette yellow. It looks sweet.

Is screaming yellow a Chevy color? Might have to compare the two. Did you spray it in your garage? Base/Clear? Looks great.
