    Ok,i have been getting feedback on the yellow.
    Everyone likes it, but asks how it will go with the skull..



    What do you think of this instead?

    Personally I like the red, BUT, its seems a lil too rich in the red, the yellow gives it originality, but you should try to add some flake or change the pinstripping up a bit. . .

    Took your advice lownloud and changed it up!

    BAM!

    Hood is still in the shop area awaiting a final coat....ran out of paint.
    There are some areas im not happy with, but i painted it outside...lol

    Satin red over satin black. stuck a taillight in the bucket for the picture.

    Ill start putting it back together this evening. Have to to the torsion bars now, and ALOT of cleaning up the interior parts that have been sitting in the shed now for 3 months.

    Its not perfect, but i think it looks evil. :D

    Colors are painters touch colonial red and satin black.

    Ya, its a rustoleum paint job, but i did it with quart cans and an hvlp gun.
    Ill end up redoing it, so i went cheap for now...lol

    Had to get her on the road for a while. my daily bit the dust.

    I want to do some kind of graphic under the red about 5 inches wide all the way down the truck...
    Ive considered a silver tribal, or a silver strobe like stripe like on the celicas.

    Any suggestions?

    I like the idea of the black/clear myself, my truck is goign to be leaning towards silver/black with some red or blue pinstripping . . . Cant wait to see your pics, it looks great

    Cool.
    Im going to try to order it this week.
    I was worried that it might not show up well on the black paint, but that might be cooler if its harder to see kinda like larry is :)
