The paint does look pretty slick, but I ordered the 70's retro disco camo, so the green should have been more of an OD. It seems variations of this scheme are starting to appear in the Eastern European/Russian areas also.

That looks very nice! What are they charging you for the CARC based paint job?

Cheers,

Thanks Freddie, but they told me they started spraying the camo yesterday afternoon. She's camo bound now.

That truck looks remarkable. I have to know what a prep and paint job from them costs? If it's reasonable, i will send a unit down to them immediately.

Thanks,
Freddie
