Hey Chizzler, would you mind if I used your truck as an example on the Photobucket section? I wanna do my truck like yours but with different colors. My seats are tan so I was thinking brown as the top coat and black as the base coat coming through. Or if somebody has an opinion on something they think would look better I'd love to hear it, I'm partial color blind and not that great at matching colors up so not real sure how good it'll look.
