crazyjim Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crazyjim Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Thanks again Ray. And just a friendly reminder - it's Friday! Time for pizza, pool, popcorn, and WWE Friday Night Smackdown.

1930fordpickup Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 This is why the base coat is so important. Looks great Jim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PappyD340 Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 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!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonFL Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dominik Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 those wheels looking perfect on it! What kit is it? i dont know it - never seen a chevy pickup with this frontend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazyjim Posted August 24, 2013 Author Share Posted August 24, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
