After a stray car hit the right door and it needed to be replaced, I figured it was time to finally paint the truck. I'm thinkin a bright blue, orange or yellow as a pinstripe to seperate the colors and outline the flame. whatcha think??

Nice work Matt, the flames turned out killer! Out of your 3 colour choices for the stripe, I think the blue would work best. I have Process blue which looks like this (the camera flash washes it out a bit in the pic so it is actually a bit brighter)

Do you have a close up of the flames that shows their colour a bit better? Is it the charcoal you were telling me about? I also have a metallic silver that would be more subtle than the blue and would work well too. Is Monday ok to get it done? I can come out to your place if you want so you don't have to drive it with wet paint. Give me a call in the evening thursday or friday.

Matt, hurry up and get the 20's on it. Those stock wheels just dont cut it anymore.

Thanks for the kind words guys. Canopy and mirrors gettin painted Friday night as well as candy red on the taillights as long as I can find the painter with the candy tommorrow.

I really like the blue, but I have to polish out some hangers on the flames before we stripe it Bill. I'll let ya know ASAP.

Stevie, do work at Curtis tire? I need some rubber for the 20's I bought from the fine folks at Airspeed.

yes i do work at curtis, but unfortunatly i don't think i get discounts for people i \"know\" just for my personal vehicle, but we do have killer prices,

and geoff,
if you guys get an account with us, you get really really good deals on basicly any wheel we sell...because your a dealer/parts store, and yeah we are the canaidian distributer for most wheel companys, so whatever you want we got it, or we can get it...
