Wow, that looks great. Would you be able to give us the color breakdown on the 36 cans? How many green/black/browns did you end up using? Did you paint over the existing CARC pattern w/the correct color? Or did you paint the entire truck in green and then added the black/brown?
Mike

Yes i painted over the orignal carc but i sanded down most of the truck .I dont really know how many cans i used I went through one whole case when i first started . So it would be 3 cans green carc 383 sub, 3 cans flat black , 3 cans earth brown carc sub oh and 3 more cans of green .had to order another case of 12 but , so now i have 1 can of green left , and 4 cans of brown and a bunch of flat black . I did not care for the rapco flat black it had to much of a luster , So used some flat black i got off ebay and it turned out great .

My trigger finger hurts just looking at it. Looks very nice Bryan. Drive it while you can before the F___(Love) Bugs come out and mess up your paint.

Nice and quiet running around town , Have not had a chance to take her on the highway and bring up the RPMs to see how much of a diffrence its made , But at least now You can talk without screaming at the top of your lungs ,plus i can hear myself fart now and talk on the phone
