Who in there right mind would make you such a bright ass color with all of that pearl in it :tonka: The pictures don't do the color justice.



It looks great and alot better than when we set it on the floor!!!!! Please keep Chad away from it.
:stan::stan:

I am half tempted to park my jeep next to it and see if some of the ugly will jump off mine and onto johns :tonka:

I Second the Wow.. Just wow.. Sweet looking rig.. That color is just jumping out.

Just curious what kinda paint you used.. I'm looking at using nason instead of dupont chroma base.. i've been told that it's owned by dupont and it's a 1/3 the price.. Figured use nason base and dupont clear.. Anyway.. Very Sweet looking rig
