Kingsford Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Ya so I'm a little crazy for buying a black truck... Well took me a month but here it is! My new toy
LDM Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Truck looks great Jason. The photography is pretty well done too.
Kingsford Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 Truck looks great Jason. The photography is pretty well done too. "Golden Hour" is my favorite time to do pictures. I was out there for 45 minutes, took over 500 shots and those are my favorite 17. Thanks!
Chase@InsanePaint Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 GORGEOUS truck dude!!! Interior pics??
Kingsford Posted October 25, 2011 Author Posted October 25, 2011 GORGEOUS truck dude!!! Interior pics?? I'll do interior pics when I'm 100% done with the Stereo/Sirius Setup. You should see the before pictures.... it wasn't so gorgeous when I got it. The dealer really f'd it up when they "buffed" it. I think they just used a bunch of over the counter "M_______er's" crap. The turn around is 100% thanks to Adam's and 10% to me. 110% Thanks for the compliments guys, really makes all the frustration worth it... Ask Dylan, I've been in contact with him A LOT lately. I felt like it was the first time buffing a vehicle. It was truly trashed. I've got about 19 hours of buffing into it and I still have the tailgate and roof to do. So I'm guessing about 3-4 more hours. Not going to be TOO picky on the roof. Only Semi's can see it.
paoutdoorsman Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Looks great man! My Colorado needs some love too!
J Tegeler Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 nice work Jason! truck looks sharp for sure, and awesome pictures
Frid Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Great looking truck. Now it just needs a 6in lift on it
Diggerdan11 Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Nice Colorado:thumbsup: And yes your crazy for buying a balck truck, but arent we all a little crazy:D
Kingsford Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 looks brand new! nice job! It actually looks newer than when it was Brand New hahaha I'll put up some before pics tonight. PC or Flex? PC. Mostly Orange and White pad, 2 passes with the orange and 2 passes with the white seemed to do the trick. Had to break out the good ol yellow for a really stubborn scratch.
Chobbs Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 Wow what a difference. You did a great job! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
J Tegeler Posted October 26, 2011 Posted October 26, 2011 the dealer really did a number on the paint! nice save though
Kingsford Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Ya it made me sick to look at. At first I was going to wait till spring but then I just couldn't look at it any more. I have this reputation and work and at the FD for what my vehicle looks like and that wasn't cutting it.
Kingsford Posted October 26, 2011 Author Posted October 26, 2011 Can anyone make me a few sig pics really quick?
Justin Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Nice truck! I'm going to look at a red one with the v8 tomorrow. Is there anything you don't like about the truck or anything you just love about it?
Kingsford Posted January 14, 2012 Author Posted January 14, 2012 Nice truck! I'm going to look at a red one with the v8 tomorrow. Is there anything you don't like about the truck or anything you just love about it? Gas Mileage isn't too great, but I have an inline 5. Get a 4 door, not an extended cab. I originally was going to get an extended but there was so room in the back of it. If it has Chrome Wheels like mine, go over them very very very well before you buy it. 2 of mine were replaced because they had defects. If you want a coin holder for the center dash, buy it on eBay! I'll give you the link. It's $10 on eBay but the dealer will charge you $40. Oil changes suck because it takes a newer type of oil that a lot of shops don't have yet so I have to go to the dealer to change it. It's every 5000 miles not 3000. But it cost me $55 each time instead of the usual $24 I used to pay for every 3000. It's a beast in the snow thats for sure.... I wasn't so happy with my truck at first, I felt like I had to baby it because it had a plastic liner in it. Get a spray in liner... I got a Line-X one. Also I got a Truxedo Bed Cover. Now I love it.
Justin Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Thanks for your input! I have line-x in my Silverado. I just want to downsize a little and get a 4x4. Going to look this afternoon at the truck. I will definatly let you know if i get it. Thanks!
