Hope yall had a nice Easter weekend! Nice weather plus no work equals truck time! I have been planning to do many parts of the truck in a bed liner type material (specifically "Raptor Liner", however, since the beginning, i have been eyeballing and considering using that material on all of the truck as its topcoat. Usually seen on more 4x4 and off road vehicles, i have seen a few more in the area that are really done well and i have to be honest that i really like it. I have done my research on application, durability, how others have used it, so i thought i would give it a go. After shooting some parts this weekend, and seeing it first hand on how this truck could look, my mind is made up.
Now, i do realize that some are going to hate it, some are going to love it. And i guess that is what you get when you build something to your taste and style. A somewhat custom hotrod truck can be whatever you want it to be. And, i am kind of excited to see how this look is going to shake out. I am hopeful that within a month or so, i can have this thing painted up.
Here is a sneak peak. You might have to zoom in on the pics to get the best look, but i am pretty sure everyone knows what the look will be. This stuff can be tinted to whatever color you want, so the Gun Metal Gray and Black truck is still my plan.
