Well, I suck at painting

As the title states, I realized today I suck at painting I would upload pictures but I lost my camera somewhere and I have yet to find it. Luckily, I have one more trick up my sleeve, which is all I need. I'll update with pictures as soon as I find my camera. Hopefully the idea I have works lol I got my fingers crossed

God I miss my 91' B2200 . . . I had such big plans for it. One day soon, I will find another (Reg Cab only!).

Nice B Mikey.

That B is awesome. Now I wish I kept mine. Oh well. I'm currently sanding the whole truck down so I have a decent surface for the paint to adhere to. Should look good if all goes well. Color(s) is/are to remain undisclosed untill it's complete and pictures are posted. Wish me luck my legion of mad-fellows(and fellettes).
