Default My trucks getting painted by a forum member. Check it out!

Like the title states, the truck is FINALLY getting painted, and in the last week it has had more done to its body work than the last year, so i am in good hands. I can only do so much with my skill sets, but if i see someone that is doing good work, i will promote the hell out of him. So heres a few pics of the truck,and some of the problem areas, and than the process. He just started this passed thursday so its in its beginnnig stage.

Oh before I forget, he goes by Nubbz33 on here, so if you like wat you see and your in the area, hit him up.


note these are the before pictures just to give you a idea what the truck looks like before.






now the process...










rockers needed replacing
















well thats it for right now. He said that he would work on it on Saturday, today, so hopefully get more pics tonight and upload them today or tomrrow. Enjoy!

Your truck is in good hands. It's looking great so far, I'm sure it'll be everything you want.

Josh is a straight up good guy. Even if he is short.
