photo chop request

[bigdog9191999]

ok so my truck took a little damage and due to this i dont think it will get painted quite the same. my dads car is a dark brown and he wants to get some touch up paint for it and we thought why not get some extra? so here are a couple pics before and a couple pics of the car for color comprehension and then my lame attempt on paint. the idea is around the bottom (to fix then hide where the rust is), the rear fenders (where the damage is) and the front edge of the hood (rust, and will have a bug guard probly put on so the paint at the front edge probly wont be seen just the stripe) and from rib to rib like a big fat wide stripe., and the front fender flares for affect..




the truck

the main reason for the paint

the car

and my lame attempt, feel free to flame on

Please no that's horrible!!!!! just paint the truck fom the upper belt line down a light brown and leave the top the original brown it will look good....Chip Foose style...

mayby the reason they did it in the 70's is for the same reason i am thinking about doning it now... i am a cheap @$$ !!!! besides it is a truck and i use it like one, function over form.. it needs to work , i just figured i would try to make it look a little better than damaged..

case in point... i when i bought this s10 o paid $200 for it.. put some money in it (motor was shot..) and i think to this day ( been driving it off and on for about 8 years) i have about 500 total into it.. to include the wicked cool rattle can paint job the other day.. (the s10 is the "winterbeater" that i drive when i put my car up for the winter, and being that i broke the car i am driving it early this year) again it moves and does what it is supposed to.. looks come way second..


from this

to this

and this

and finnaly this as of 8/10/09 at about $60 it looks better than it has in years

now both mine and the wifes summer cars and both bikes get treated better in the looks departments.. and they all get mechanicly taken care of, some just look better than others.

i did and i do like the look, but that would mean more prep, and more paint of another color to buy. like i said we are all ready going to buy some of the other paint we would just get more of it.

i just want the damage and the rust fixed and something better looking than leaving it in spot primer..


nice job bikerider i think i like the look just not the hood roof stripe. and the second wont cover the rust spots... so i think the first one without the hood and roof will work for what i am looking for.

The light brown will hide the ding's and dent's and be more for giving of not so great prep work the pic is the color brown and paint scheme i'm recomending.. :rockon:
