I remember saving that first pic a couple years back. Now I have both.

Looks great.

Truck paint job came out really nice.

That looks super, I want to do the same. Did you do much of the prep? Could I be nosy and ask what a job like that cost?

It was Toyota 1C5 Silver Metalic Graphite
I find this color blends alot with the road, doesn't stand out much against the road, kinda low viz
I have had a few people pull out in front of me like they didn't see me.
I wonder?
