new look to the truck

[kman2468]

ok well dont hate the photoshop skills lol
but i wanna know what you guys think
here is my truck now

i am painting the mirrors, door handles, tailgate handles white. then im painting my rims black, then im getting rid of the stupid vinyls, and painting below the moldings(undecided what color) and im doing the LMM badges either keeping them chrome or painting them black..
here is what i did on photoshop. i have no clue how to get rid of the vinyls on there lol

IMO it looks worse in the bottom pic

Aftermarket wheels and do the whole truck white. That would look the best. Just my opinion though.

 

[kman2468]

i cant afford wheels. i am trying to do just white. i am getting this all done for free to

 

[whitetrash21]

Do the truck white, leave the wheels stock. Get some later. That black thing doesn't work with stockers..... again, just my opinion.

BTW, that is a long ass truck....

 

[kman2468]

well i would leave the rims the way they are..but they are corroded, they look like crap lol, so i want to paint them some color. ya its long truck and i dont like it lol

Long trucks look good up in the air. 4 or 6", some 35's.... that'd really set it off.

 

[kman2468]

haha ya. that is money again lol i know they look good lifted. but i think i would rather have a trans IMO
here are my rims right now

i dont think it would look bad at all:thumb: wouldnt look like every other d max on the road what about painting the front bumper to match the rest im doing that with mine right now looks more stock car to me that way ether way it youer set of wheels and as long as you like it do it!:thumb:

 

[kman2468]

thanks man. of course it wouldnt look that crapily painted, but i cant decide on anything. i know for a fact the mirrors, door handles, and tailgate handle will be painted white, and the new LMM badges will go on

 

[Lb7KID]

and if you dont paint youer wheels. might try takeing some scotch bright to them that might clean them up a little better than they are it worth a shot i think the nbs badges are sweet!!! every wear iv seen them they wonted an arm and a leg for so i had to pass where you geting youers from?

 

[kman2468]

henry on here. ripmf666 he has them for cheapest. and we are trying to get a couple more people to save us all on shipping i dont think rims can be cleaned up they are corroded to shit lol

 

[Lb7KID]

hmm i miay have to see what i can do!! that sucks about the rims ha just hope paint sticks to it if you do go the route

 

[kman2468]

i am getting them sandblasted to help it stick more. i hope lol the guy is a body shop guy so he should know what hes doing. i will be doing all the work myself tho. its awesome to have a neighbor, that your good with! so now i get it all done for free i will get you the prices or the thread for those badges

 

[Turbo Performance]

I like the white look. I do agree that stock wheels don't look the best black but I think they look a lot better black than they do all corroded.

Aluminum is not that hard to repolish. Use 600 1200 and 2000, then a good body polishing compound and it will look new. I would first spray them with Aircraft stripper, and possibly alumi brite to get rid of the remaining clear. After you get them polished back to original shine, clear them like the factory. Any wheels you have put on, try to get the wheel shop to use weights on the inside and stick on only. Outside weights just break up the clear and cause corrosion.
