As above I'd rock that in any damn colour.
Proud Daddy eh!

I usually do not like gloss clear on my old trucks. But- this one has a bit of sparkle pearl and candy orange in the clear. I think it looks amazing- it is an EYE MAGNET for sure. Driving it is like a race car, dragster, road course tourer- I mean it's all those things AND a little bit scary! It's too fast for it's own good. If there is such a thing haha!
I would have left it as it was or maybe done matte clear- but there were some spots of filler, old lead filler and different colors of primer. So what the painter chose to do with it- is super good, it's fitting and it transformed it from a weird thing into a proper hot rod.
This truck never really "spoke to me" until they sprayed it and I drove it. Now it all makes so much sense. I feel rather proud of this one. (don't ask me how many hours it took to build it, because people that work at Nando's earn more per hour) lol
I'm just glad it's almost time to send it home. That'll make me very proud indeed.

Don’t like clearcoat mostly..... This, looks great. I'm with grizz...love the truck but not the gloss clearcoat. matt would have looked amazing. good job we are all different! Just to clarify....... Usually not a liker of clearcoat over Paine, but in this case, it does work and I like it. Probably comes to life even more in the sunshine if they added some,hot rod metal flake. |

Adding pearl and candy to the clear coat explains why it looks so good and pops in the sun, the colour reminds me of eating toffee apples as a kid. You seriously need to increase your hourly rate or quotes to make money on these builds, you can't keep giving people their dreams rides for little reward. Time costs money and you deserve more than just build satisfaction, you deserve to make a profit on these builds to spend on yourself and family. |

Agreed! I've learned a lesson on these things. The four other trucks I have going on right now- have numbers attached to the engine swaps, that make a whole lot of sense. It's because of this one- that I changed things around a little.  When I'm done with the next one, beer's on me |
