rattle canned my truck flat black

Long Box Tonneau available if anyone knows?

I would suggest the same.
dirt sticks to flat paint big time though, this is what she will wear until I finish the body mods

looks damn good i think ......heres a pic of mine resprayed (spraypaint)



it was red was gettin everything done to shave everything and notch it truck got vandalized ( spraypainted ) just stupid shit on it so i sprayed it satin black didnt like the look of it not "mini truck" enough for what i thought it would look like and didnt look great all black wheels and all ....
then i stipped all the black of and left it red till i got all the handles and gas tank do shaved then this is what it looks liek now i wanted to keep itred from the top body line up but the bed around the top was really rough and would have looked worse then it does like this but heres what it looks like now

as you can see in the pics no handles no gas tank door ...... its c notched and bridged monoleafed......... cranked and indexed torsions flipped balljoints cut out wheel wells .......

i think you should have left it the green

but im partial to it, my truck is that color

That green does look good!

17 x 7 with 5" backspacing. Bought'em brand new years and years ago. I paid like 2100 for the wheels and 500 for the tires. Expensive but there wasn't the selection of 6 bolts wheels back then as there is now, especially with proper backspacing to get them to tuck. I love these wheels, but I've cut myself numerous times trying to polish them. Next time I'd buy chrome.

I think the flat black looks badass. The green was cool only because that's a pretty uncommon colour,but flat black is cool no matter what you put it on.

I'm either leaving my truck in grey primer,painting it satin black with some old school pinstriping,or if I have enough cash,repainting it charcoal metallic.

Or I might break it up and leave the bottom half of the truck primer and do the top half flat black. That way my tinted glass,vinyl tonneau and black mirrors will all blend in. The tailgate would stay primer,but I got a stamped one so I'd fill in MAZDA in flat black.

low87,that red/black scheme is cool as hell,suits it really well! I like the way you split the colours on the body.

Keep up the sweet work guys!

Oh...while I'm at it,and we're on the topic of spraypaint,here's my old car. I rattle canned the lower half in charcoal grey because when I was shaving the door moldings,I didn't know the car was repainted before and it tore off all the paint underneath down to primer and it looked like crap,so $40 and a week later with lots and lots of wetsanding and 3 coats of clear I was done. Then when I was done I ran a 1/8" vinyl silver pinstripe where the colours met. That paint job lasted me from like June '05 when I did it,to April '06 when I scrapped the car.

Hey look,I had flat black on it too after I fibeglassed my trunk lid. I shaved the seam around the licence plate frame and then glassed over the red reflectors on the trunk only leaving the eyeball reverse lights. That took me like 2 months to do and I never got it painted.

oh yeah,and that car was loud as hell with that dual exhuast. No mufflers,just a small resonator. And did it ever sound sweet.....it was a 2.5 V6.

mine are 16*7, i think the b.s. on mine is 4.5"....not sure tho, can't remember...i have the 4x sheetmetal too & mine look like they will tuck by @ 1/2" or so.....they are sharp around the edges, i don't know why centerline didn't take the time to deburr the edges better.....do you have a pic of your truck from the side...maybe not layed out all the way? that way i could get an idea of what mine will hopefully look like one day haha!
