jaysm35a2 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I want to either paint my fenders black or paint the entire nose black on my U600. What looks better to you guys.I was thinking of just doing the fenders but as we know on the R type hood the fenders and front of the hood bump out as one. Should that whole thing be painted?Thanks fellers! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umodelnut Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I think both look good jay but the black fenders are kindof popular but they look great my whole hood on mine Is goon be red except where the smaller Mack emblem is like it is now.

billythekid Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What color are you going to be painting the truck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 I'm gonna send my helper "Jaime" over your way to saw that hood in half cause that's what he likes to do. Then you won't have near the concern about the paint.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.

yarnall Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 The company my father worked for had 2 R models that looked really nice. One had the hood green with the depressed area that the top and back grey. They other was blue with grey. The cabs were white. There is an old picture of an R model in the recent gallery pictures that is red except for the depressed are in the hood that is white. Something like that would look really good on your U model.Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaysm35a2 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 The depressed area is black on mine. Im painting it back green , it needs that done pretty bad. Now I dont want a entirely green truck so I was thinking of just doing the fenders Or the fenders and all around like in this picture.Rob no need to cutting my hood down , its already half the size of a R models ha ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby Covert Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 Paint the nose and fenders black. Use the design of the hood to "enforce" the paint scheme> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaysm35a2 Posted January 12, 2012 Author Share Posted January 12, 2012 I dont have a need to get that far Vinny, the underside of my hood is already painted and same with the cab. I guess someone down the line already did that on mine or just kept it up real well.Now I need the temp. in the 70's so I can get started.Im painting the front end like Mark , bumblebee, and others said.

Frmconcrete09 Posted January 12, 2012 Share Posted January 12, 2012 I sure do like the dark green r model dump that has been on youtube for several years, i think that green would look good with a little silver or gold flake in it,.. not to be fancy or nothing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 A high gloss black with clear "spiked" with slight blue, green, and gold mica flakes really jumps out too.Rob Quote Plodding along with no job nor practical application for my existence, but still trying to fix what's broke.
