Thanks! It's candy apple red. I think the white concrete reflected off the truck or something, cause the red looks a lot brighter in the pics than in real life.

In one pic I thought it looked like mine, vermillion red. But the other I could see the pearl. Seems my color isn't on as many of these trucks anymore. haha! As the race red, and candy apple are becoming more popular.

Beautiful! Is it much of a pain to work around the appearance package strips with the clay?

Thanks for the compliments! Nope, it wasn't bad at all. I was concerned before I started, but just keep it good and wet you won't have any probs.

Just curious. I just always noticed if I get close to my 4x4 decals with the clay it will leave some residue. I know I would drive myself crazy making sure I had it all perfect haha.

The trucks look great guys. Seems as though we all had the same idea on that beautiful day the Lord had made.

Wow.. that looks like glass. I don't think anything can compare to a perfectly clean black paint. Great job.

Thanks Paw Paw, the old Huckster won't take as long to do I'm sure.
