thx Rick for your fast response, do yo have any pics w,\ the newer tires? Did you have to do any clad cutting?

[Rickster]

Have the color fade from bottom of the VX to the top:

Black to kaiser.

Tribal flames from front to back like this truck, but all the way to the rear of the VX:



Tribal, solid across front end like the truck, going back, medium saphire blue, with brushed aluminum border.

Specific enough?

Hope you understand,

Rick

The fenders had to be cut about a quarter of an inch for the Goodyear 295/50/20's, the Toyo 295/45/20's are actually smaller diameter, and are closer to the original stock size.

Final decision:

Kameleon blue, that flips the spectrum to red, on all the cladding and hood insert, custom half moon, mirrors, everything else that is black, and the brake rotors. Calipers will be red.

3 face pearl (4 coats of each, blue, red, violet) on Kaiser silver for the rest of the truck, "so shiney that it will look wet", and Kameleon tribal flames on the Kaiser to match the cladding.

I'll post pics as soon as it is finished.

Sounds BEAUTIFUL! - can't wait to see pictures. Do you have any problem with the paint on the cladding chipping or peeling? If not, could you ask your shop how they prepped it? Thanks!
