Well Just left the shop that did it... The guys that painted it for me told me on the phone it looked horrible... Well I guess to them it does but to me it is AWESOME!!! I bought them some cheap ass Dupla-Color pre mix stuff and it just does not laydown like the paint they use on their $8000-$15000 custom Hotrods paint jobs they are used to doing. Who would have guessed :D Any way here are some pics!

There is a run in this pic that they are sanding out as we speak... You can kinda see how the paint is not that mirror smooth finish you would expect from a $10000 paint job... I have about $300 in this... Including the body work they did...

Good... If it gets you to stop hollaring out the window at the guys it was worth every penny.

I would say it is a OK job... Not the best but not the worst. ALOT better then I could have done! And why does everyone hate white1?!?!?!?!

i personally have to say that anything is better than it looked before. i have 2 white vehicles and it sucks to keep them clean.... you can wash it, look at it wrong and 15 minutes later it looks dirty again..... but a white vehicle does hold it's value better than any other color out there. white hides a lot of imperfections.......

slowtowpig 08-22-2008 01:11 PM

i was joking about the white, i love white.

bigdaddydiesel 08-22-2008 01:11 PM

I liked they way it looked before... Had that whole "sleeper" thing going on... If only I could get teh whole "FAST" thing going on it would have been perfect!

Benjamin 08-22-2008 01:48 PM

i hear ya on that

GO OVRIT 08-22-2008 05:26 PM

Its gotta be faster than it was with the ti roof paint brushed on... that was a lot of friction.:run:

Benjamin 08-23-2008 11:36 AM

you almost need to adjust the white balance on the camera to get a good picture of the truck now..... looks like a 50 footer.... is that in down town?

RSWORDS 08-23-2008 11:39 AM

Yeah right in front of my Fire House.

LOGANSTANFORTH 08-23-2008 01:38 PM

i like white, both my cummins are white.......i cant wait to find a white superduty to pull them around with.........it gives you pretty much a blank canvas to write on.........but tin roof silver was nice....too bad ya killed the sleeper look with the new paint.........why not that new stick on badges where they are individual letters.......or get some from Billet Badges | Welcome

I was thinking of putting on soem 3rd gen badges but the truck is too boxy for them to look right.

Funniest post on DB in a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time.

Truck looks alot better, I like the "new white tip".

Dr. Evil 08-23-2008 10:13 PM

I like white too - looks real good.

You need some graphics to break up all the white. How about a couple of big Cummins C's or the Killer B decals for the end of the box?

And some black wheels.

TCU Fan 08-23-2008 10:24 PM

You could get a DB wrap put on it so when you win all those 1st place trophies DB can be displayed prominently. :U:

stkdram55 08-23-2008 11:49 PM

E2theRock2 08-24-2008 11:59 AM

Hey you need a tip on that exhaust and some racing stripes.... Dont you know that when you add those your truck gets faster.... Oh and add a NOS sticker too those are like 100 horse a piece.

Lucas Amick 08-24-2008 04:22 PM

cumminsfreak86 07-20-2009 08:31 PM
