Paint idea for my truck: would it look good?
 

Howdy! i have a white 99 powerstroke crew cab long bed. I like the truck but my last truck was a real looker unlike this one. i'm already tired of all that gloss white that shows every dent and ding.

So here is my idea. the truck has 2 main bodylines; the lower bodyline which includes the wheel fenders and an upper body line right beneath the windows. the space between the two i want to keep gloss white however the top and the bottom areas in flat black with some detail work on the hood. complemented by a deep red pinstripe running the length of the top stripe.

AND HERES THE KICKER! i would like to rattle can it if i could as i don't have a HVLP gun nor a spray booth. what do you think?

Rattle canning takes talent, otherwise it won't look very good.

The paint idea sounds cool but spend the money and do it right... I wouldn't even spary paint my 95 with 251k let alone a 99 :D

i have to agree if you dont get it done right with that paint scheme you wont like it im afraid :humm:

Even if it is just a flat black? the pinstripe is going to be done professionally.

The fan spray on a fart can is less than impressive,not consistent,the streaks will be like stripes across the body panels.:c:

Flat black is thee hardest colors to paint. It'll show every dark light stripes uneven spots and that's using a professional spray gun let alone a spray bomb.

thanks guys. for all the advice
