Re: I am from the Desert

finally .....so never a short story paint shop didn't make enough paint to complete the entire truck ( gave them a entire disassembled truck) so when they made the new batch didn't match come to find out PPG discontinued a tint that was being used in the formula( body shop offered to paint the entire truck again I said no because of my time invested in reassembly etc. they agreed and turned up the heat on PPG, PPG rep came out got it 97% close only good in horse shoes and POLITICS ):body shop kept the pressure on PPG and then they ask us to send them a correct color part(step from stepside) to their Lab in Pittsburg so they could create a formula and do a spray out .........we have a match ....its tuff with pictures and this color looks more blue gray than blue in some light and a lot blue in the sun light .....so after weeks of the back and forth ....we have a match so back to assembly ..first get the bed wood prepped ....stay tuned
