Hey Malibu
Here is a pic of a real Orange L..I'm in the process of finishing it, hopefully it will be done tomorrow complete with shaker hood, the truck was disassembled, sealed, base coated, cleared with 3 coats, wet sanded and re-cleared then we'll finish it with a final wet sand using 2500 grit and then polish it,,

Hey guys thanks for the " thumbs up", the shaker scoop will be painted with argent grey A.K.A the 01 grill paint..The cost for a Job like this is about 5K, fortuneately my buddy owns the shop and did it for the cost of material which was almost $1500.00 ..the job used just over 3 gallons of PPG Global clear..He has a silver 01L and we'll be doing ghost shadow flames on his next week...The whole project started because we both had silver L and everything I did he copied so I said jokingly "on monday" d@mn I'm gonna have to get mine painted so you won't copy me. Tues morning it was in his shop and we were disassembling it

That orange is tight I would definately take that over yellow. Just my opinion.

Wht,,
The bed is painted now,At first we were not going to because of the bed rug going in then we decided that was a dumb idea as we spent so much effort in doing a "Total" re-do

LOL yeah wish I could find someone to repaint mine like that . That looks excellent! I'd go for a different color then orange but still, looks like you definately put your work into it.
I had looked into completely repainting my truck the dark blue kinda like the "true blue" color, but can't find anyone locally that seems to give a crap enough about it.
I want to get everything painted to match, I mean all body panels, bumpers, plastic trim, roll bar, brush guard, nerf bars, grill, so its completely one color.
