That's why i brought it up. don't want anybody thinking I did shitty workMounce said:I started to mention that but didn't in fear that it was yours lol.
That shop just globbed that shit on there, looks like chewed up gum. I haven't mig welded yet in my welding class but I'd bet I could do better than that on my first try. Hell, I could stick weld it better than that.

Btw any suggestions for my TB, even though you're more partial to the offroad build, rather than a lowered build [emoji12]

.......no, you guys really hate my decals. To each their own. If I had a TBSS that'd be different, I'd only have one..BlazingTrails said:

The paint is so hard water stained, I'm afraid if I take them off, the paint will look far better underneath. Plus the fact that a-holes here carelessly ding doors.HARDTRAILZ said:

Looks like one of the filament bulbs for one of your sliders is out. Time to crack that bad boy open for an LED retrofit!!

Well when the divorce is over with I'd like to get my TB repainted, dipped, or wrapped at some point. I don't know if I should just get the factory black paint re-done, have it painted satin black, dip it satin black, or wrapped in satin vinyl. What are your opinions guys? Paint is chipped, lots of scratches, she's begging for it.

The only color besides black or satin black I would do would be anodized blue, like what my hood is or the same/similar color blue used on the new Corvette's. I.e the one used in the newest Chevy commercial featuring the new line-up

So Kyle, you think mine would look good wrapped in the same thing as my hood?
Very pricey for that color as the size increases. Not to mention that vinyl sheet I got was waaay to thin. It's 3M brand which surprised me when I got to handle it of how it wasn't as thick as normal wrap. Even melted when I tested a heat fun on it.... It's great for smaller applications, but I think that a shop would have a hard time wrapping my truck if I ordered a large quantity of it. I'd have to find a similar color in a different brand

Your hood looks more baby blue than anodized to me.
Most places that wrap provide the material. I was quoted about $2000 for my truck without roof

Oh wait my bad, my calipers are anodized blue. I was thinking of the wrong color for a sec my bad. Idr the name for the blue on the hood. I'll have to take a look in my purchase history. What color were you quoted for? Or is $2000 a base price that you were told?

Oh okay. I'm trying to stay withing $1500; if I wanna go the paint route i dont know that I'll be able to get a job done for that, or if-so, quality may be lacking a few years down the line. I think even a flat color or primer still costs some even though it's not glossy or has clearcoat

Invest in a porter cable 7424xp and some good quality product like "Adams" polishes and do a paint correction. You'd be surprised what a paint correction...especially on black can do. If ur hoods all chipped to hell invest in a Scott's hood. www.centercrosscustoms.com. love those hoods.
Man I wish my tbss looked as good as the one pictured. :drool:

That's a sexy SS, I've never detailed my own rig so I'm a bit weary of damaging my paint using a buffer [emoji32]jrSS said:
