JumperAndSon Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Well if you buff out the paint and get it shiney, then you can paint the visor red and it will fit in perfectly. Not to mention the truck will look a million times better when it's shiney Ben Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/3/#findComment-175547 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only the one piece by the dog house is painted because I needed that piece and I found one in a U model cab at my buddy's so he let me have it and I took it back to the house, under coated the bottom side and painted the other side.

Popular Post 2stacksuperdog Posted May 17, 2013 Author Popular Post Share Posted May 17, 2013 Scraped off all the loose undercoat stuff and painted the floor the other day. Already got it dirty without touching it. Also took the muffler off to get ready to paint frame and it sounded awesome without anything but the cab is black now so... 3 Quote Matt Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/29850-r-model-project/page/3/#findComment-183668 Share on other sites More sharing options...
