I wanted too because it would of cost 4k to repaint it. This was cheaper and I liked the matte look. You don't need to be jerks about it. If you don't like it you don't have to comment on it.

To be honest there is no room for Jerk comments. This is someones project and we should respect that. I do not like big rims like moto metal or rockstars but when i see people on here with them i do not bash them, i just say nice truck and move one.

To the OP, good job man, most people would not try something like that. I know alot of people that try to paint their trucks and have trouble with one color but you managed to do a good color separation. And the nice thing is when you get tired of it just peel it away.
