Yea that easy. He did it on the show. And the paint will dry and you don't have to worry about it since it's pinstriping paint

The wheel that I'd need is $44! It'll leave a 1/2" (12.8 mm) thick stripe. And the kit is $110. It would be cheaper than powdercoating the outline I assume, but powdercoat would hold up better.

That is it for now, only thing I'm having a problem with is keeping the truck clean, but everyday day or whenever the truck is parked, it get's covered in yellow dust and I'm really allergic to it. What do you guys use to wipe your trucks down? I have a California Wax Mop that works, but I haven't used it since 2006.
congrats on the promotion!
and the truck is looking sick man!

x100000 on the dang pollen tho! cant keep my truck clean for 30 seconds
