Default repainted the rig

Welll I have only had my truck for about a month but ever since i bought it i hated the paint, so i finally went and did something about it, got a new paint job. I have painted a few semis so i know how to spray really well, but my boss didnt want me working at work, and since i did not have a compressor at home i thought i was out of luck. But i came across a forum on moparts about people who have rolled on paint to there cars. I got really excited started to watch all of these youtube videos then came across a forum (http://rolledon.forummotion.com) after that i was hooked, set a budget of 100 bucks, which quickly doubled due to mistakes on my part, but in the end the truck looks pretty damn good, and for 200 bucks you cant beat it, i think macco charges 500 for a single color to. but i decided to post a few pictures of the truck in case anyone else was interested in a new paint job for theres


original color




photoshopped



progress

looking at your pics further, you should paint the lower rockers black. i think that would really set it off, especially if you plan on putting some chrome rims on it.
