one big miserable bitch

[The Drag Shop]

I got the bright idea on last thursday to finally paint my dually. spent last weekend finishing up body work and shaving out the antenna and 6 stake pockets. Started preping on wed and thursday and took it to the dealership lil brandon works at to tear it apart last night and started painting at 10 this morning. finished it up at 6pm today. gotta go put it all back together tomorrow and start to cut and buff it on monday. that truck is a huge bitch and i gotta thank everyone that helped me especially lil brandon, joe green, zach, beane and his mad sanding lady, and big thanks to scott, i owe you guys i could have NEVER done it alone.

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Looks awesome Brandon, I like that color a lot. I'm sure painting that thing was a lot of fun haha.

Are you keeping the same wheels or switching them out for different ones?

One other question, did you flip the tailgate handle to the inside when you shaved it? I'm asking this for future reference.

[kjay1021]

[travis5218]

Looks great Brandon. That color is amazing in the pics. Did it take a 5 gallon bucket of it to paint that big bitch? LOL

[The Drag Shop]

3.5 gallons of sprayable in base and 2.5 gallons of clear. could have painted three minis with that. :lol:

[kjay1021]

yes mam i am excellent with a flat black rattle can! hahahaha



That's not what I had in mind lol

[jonlilly]

[Warriorblaze]

Not bad for a simple truck.

[travis5218]

Looks great Brandon! Once you get it buffed and everything let me know and I will meet up and shoot some pics of it with my Digital SLR if you want.

looks great man, i need to come out and see it in person.

[travis5218]

The name of the paint should be "Simple Green" Brandon :rofl:

[DonoftheFamily]

I saw this big bitch today and looks even better in person

[WickedJester]

WOW that truck looks killer!

[Chevrolet Fanatic]

Damn, that thing looks tits, I love it. Very clean looking.

Not bad for a simple truck.

Simple is better most of the time, at least I like the look of a cleanly done truck than one that has a shit ton done to it. Get too much and it just looks cluttered, same thing for paint, one tone ftw.

3.5 gallons of sprayable in base and 2.5 gallons of clear. could have painted three minis with that. :lol:

No damnit, need to do more fullsize trucks, it's a good thing. :rofl:

same wheels for now i cant ball like that. but one day i will buy some 22 inch semi wheels and yes the tailgate handle is relocated to the inside of the tailgate with relocator kit.

Thanks for the info, what kit did you use btw? One other question, how do you like your Cadillac tails?

[Ponyrider03]

dude the color is great and it looks good on the street rollin!!!!!

[mospeedplz]

WOW! that is a bad ass truck. I love that color.
I feel bad for everyone who had a peice of sandpaper in their hands. Thats alot of sheet metal! I couldn't even wash it by myself.

[kustomrydes]

hey Brandon truck looks great. The ford green is one of my favorite colors out
I know where a dually is that has the semi wheels on it up Campbells Creek.
The guy is trying to sell it (California truck - still has the old club sticker on it)
Maybe he would trade with you for the wheels. The passenger rear has some road rash on the edge.

The truck is awesome...BTW Eddie and his son are always trading cars I think just about every week they have something new... his son lives two houses from my grandparents and is married to my cousin.

[kustomrydes]

Sorry Brandon, when you called for some reason I couldn't think of his name. Not sure why, I shot his last wedding. His son Brian is married to my mom & dad's bosses daughter. I will try and get that phone number for you tomorrow.

http://i87.photobucket.com/albums/k149/kustomrydes/photoshoots/wedding.jpg

His mustang is also for sale. I think he said 20grand for it. The paint on the car was very nice.
