Why vinyl? I would paint it. The brown and cream is my favorite 2 tone color scheme.

Awsome truck you got there.

Vinyl or paint I will have to see which is cheaper....also the vinyl because if I don't like it I can pull it off and be a solid Street truck again..... but I will ask my painter and see if there's a big difference between the two as far as cost

[Desert1957]

I vote the "2 Tone"

[loujizzel]

the color cream i speak off comes in different shades now to pick the right shade smh. Lol.... the porshe is lighter then the subaru.

I like porshe cream.... thoughts please

The color on the Subaru is darker and will look better against that beautiful dark brown
. I think the Porsche cream, as light as it is, will look almost white against the dark brown. Get you some different colored poster board , tape it to the truck , and back up a bit to observe it.

I agree, too light of a cream will look white against the dark brown. see if your local sign shop can let you borrow a chip chart.

[loujizzel]

Good ideas .....thanks

[Tetanus Express]

That shade of cream on that Porsche would really go nice with other shade. Nice choice!
Waiting to see this thing finished.

I just contacted my painter today he said most likely by the end of the week I will have my truck unfortunately he only has two years of experience and not comfortable painting a body stripe funny thing is when you look at his work and all the effort he puts in it you would think he has way more experience so when I get my truck it will be a solid root beer Brown..... I did find a paint shop that will paint the stripe for me for $500 so I might just go there he said he would have it done in 2 to 3 days but I'm going to see what the truck looks like when I put all the trim and bumpers back on before I have the cream striped laid

[Marshy]

Have you considered doing the stripe in vinyl so it could be removed later if you wanted? Idk if that's a good application for vinyl or not though...can't wait to see it done though.

Yes I visited that idea the cheapest i found for vinyl is $700.... if I can find it at a lower cost I will do vinyl

[loujizzel]

pm me

[RandyP]

I did that and got 20 questions from you. Why do you say "PM me" and then never give an answer? Confusing for sure. Honestly, why are you so ashamed of who is doing the work that you won't mention it? The truck looks awesome so obviously the person has knowledge, why the hiding?

Its the way you asked.... i had a couplebof other guys PM me and they didnt ask like you.......this dude doe work out of his backyard..... idk if your a competition and might call the city on him. Honestly i dont know if he has a license to work....what i do know is he does good work... thats why i am apprehensive about telling you....it was your approach thats why i asked you if your a cop or work for OSHA.... I dont want him getting fines... not saying that you would do that but just being cautious..... my apologies but i hope you understand my position....

[loujizzel]

Thanks for your post on the cream color I've decided to go with a light cream from the Porsche 911 because in the Sun the truck looks extremely light brown only in the shade or dark does it look dark brown my inspiration comes from this truck I seen at a car show in Moreno Valley just this past weekend

[f.monroe]

Your truck is going to look great either way. I tend to like two tones since the side stripe fits these trucks so well. The colors you picked are super classy. The truck will have a classy look when done and I bet it draws attention everywhere it goes. I can't wait to see the finished product.

Just because you are not paranoid does not mean they are not out to get you. Wow. It will be the guys neighbors or one disgruntled helper or one PO'd "customer" that gets him in trouble, not a guy 3000 miles away. The fly by night guys in their back yard come and go. You need to relax a little.

And the subaru white(ish) color has far too much red in it.

[loujizzel]

Rear and front bumper are set and ready to get put back on the truck should have it back by Monday or Tuesday the latest then the fun begins putting all the trim back on

[raggedjim]

Truck is looking great. Your paint guy is doing a great job, did you do the prep or did he?
