Nice, neighbor.  Did you paint it or did a local shop?  I am just over the state line, next town over from Crown Point, Lowell, IN...

Great color, looks like a real nice job.  It's amazing to me, the transformation from several colors of primer to the finish paint.

Looks great. Curios why you chose to spray the hood etc. separate. Aren't you worried about color match with that much metallic?

here is a pic of the headlight bazels  don't know if i like it yet i think it will look better once the grill is in and the bumper is on..

The color I used was from a 94 Porsche  i think its called nighthawk blue or something.. Pretty much looks the same as Midnight Blue Metallic little bit more darker allmost looks black in some angles

Use lots of chrome and polished metal to set it off. 

I even had "chrome" pinstripes on my '90 Suburban, along with aluminum running boards.  It looked great.

Well got the front all put together. My truck has bug eyes lol.. I think i'm going to smoke the headlights out so they don't stand out so much. But I like it. Man I forgot how much of a pain it is wet sanding and buffing these trucks.  but its turning out pretty nice.
