Well ,did some painting this past weekend ,found some paint at Lowe's ,Color shift from rustoleum ,like the can said paint over a black base,did that ,think it turned out pretty good. The paint shifts to blue and purple .Now to start on the chrome pieces for the cab ,and electrial.
The bed may need 2 more coats of gloss black.

Great paint work, you really can see the color change. With the way the light is hitting it there, it's blue almost green on the side but purple across the top of the hood and fender. Sweeeet!

Wow that's one sweet oil field rig...I'm really digging it. If I may add my two cents, I think the little details will really complete this build. I would put a set of Steve's wheels with super singles in the front and a more aggressivevtire tread patern in the rear. I'm sure you've got more planned. After all, are we ever truely finished with a build? LOL

@rockNmayhem

Well congrats on the new arrival. I understand what saving is like man. My wife and I just had our wedding which was a one year struggle to save for. Now that its over I can actually get back to some of my builds. Well that is one sweet oil field rig already, so I'm looking forward to seeing it finished. Good luck
