Popular Post BGarofalo Posted September 5, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted September 5, 2017 Got my truck back from paint today. It was my first time using this shop and I'm very pleased with the results. Some of you may remember but I saved this truck from the scrap yard. It's a long process but it's coming together nice. Tomorrow I have a smoke test then I'm going to pull the tanks and have them painted to match the cab. The paint is all metal flake with a lot of pearl. I'll have more pictures tomorrow but here are a few teasers. 15 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50925-back-from-paint-shop/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

hurstscrambler Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 It looks like they did a top notch job. Its never fun paying the bill, but it definitely easier when you pick up a truck that looks as good as that. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50925-back-from-paint-shop/#findComment-378944 Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGarofalo Posted September 12, 2017 Author Share Posted September 12, 2017 Thanks for the kind words. Instead of polishing the tanks I've decided to paint them. They should be back Thursday so I'll get a few "mostly" finished pictures.

Hobert62 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 I like polished tanks and wheels(strictly my opinion) but, love the colors and the stripe. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50925-back-from-paint-shop/#findComment-379507 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post BGarofalo Posted September 15, 2017 Author Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2017 Well I made a bit more progress today. I got the tanks back from paint and mounted them to the truck. Still have to clean up all the aluminum pieces and get a good coat of paint on the frame. Little by little it's moving along. 7 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/50925-back-from-paint-shop/#findComment-379769 Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTFormula Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 Wow, that looks excellent. I love the painted tanks. A lot easier to keep clean too. What are your intentions with this truck?

BGarofalo Posted September 18, 2017 Author Share Posted September 18, 2017 I had to be persuaded by a few friends to get the tanks painted. I've always been a fan of polished tanks but I thought it might be "too much" for the colors of the truck. I like it though. As far as my plans with the truck, I really don't have any. Drive it down to town to get coffees for the guys . Again thanks for the compliments! Its nice to be around guys who share the same passion.
