99 Silverado in pink

[crazyjim]

Yes, it's HOK hot pink but I shot it over dark gray primer. The bed was shot with Rustoleum Texture paint to make it look like a spray in bedliner. The grill was eliminated and replaced with mesh. I had those wheels laying around and since the kit was a trade and had no wheels/tires, I decided to use them up.

Looks good, nice work on the interior.

Thanks again Ray. And just a friendly reminder - it's Friday! Time for pizza, pool, popcorn, and WWE Friday Night Smackdown. Oh yeah, I love it! Have a GREAT evening.

This is why the base coat is so important. Looks great Jim.

[crazyjim]

Thanks Andy. You are absolutely correct about base coats. I did a spoon test with primer/color coat and it gave me the final version. I certainly didn't want a hot pink Silverado.

That's a great looking truck Jim.

Thanks Rich. I might take it to the Table Top nationals next week.

Very nice! I was expecting a Mary Kay Cadillac pink.or something, but that is really cool.

That's what I was expecting too! but what a pleasant surprise, your truck looks great and a nice touch on the bed liner!!

Really nice looking truck Jim. I like the mild drop with those rims and color. Deffintatly not the kind of pink I was expecting but what I really like most are the headlights and the little chrome strip grill. Are they the normal set flipped around, a different set, or is that how it's supposed to be and I'm crazy?

Looks Great Jim, you are really branching out !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another stunning build, excellent interior detail and nice touch on the bed liner. Sometimes l use primer sometimes l don't...

[RodneyBad]

Great looking Truck and a Fantastic build..

[Dominik]

those wheels looking perfect on it!

What kit is it? i dont know it - never seen a chevy pickup with this frontend.

[crazyjim]

Thank you all so very much.

Spoon tests revealed that hot pink over dark gray primer would give a maroon tone.

It's the stock grill bar, Jason. It might look different because of the mesh I put behind it.

The kit was the '99 Silverado that came with a Waverunner (although I didn't get the Waverunner in the trade), Dominik.
