That looks 100x's better. Hopefully it lasts. If you don't mind, how much did that cost you?

Looks great, is that base coat clear coat, or the mix crap they use? We did my dads truck with that mixed junk, it didn't look bad and it actually held up very well.

That's the best money you've ever spent. Looks like a brand new truck!

Looks Great!

I had a '90 Burb a few years back... Really wish I still had it.

$1550, looks like it was more than worth it. Just consider the materials alone on that behemoth.
