Creativity and quality are top notch. The truck itself is not, wheels either

That's one hell of a painter there.

I'm not much a fan of the truck though, or how the paint job looks on it, but it is a very good paint job. Lots and lots of fine detail.

Also, thats a very cool place for taking photos.

I grew up in body shops.
You wouldn't believe how much it costs to get a nice paint job done. $8000 is a decent deal for that quality of work.,



Having a good photographer helps too.
Great pictures as always Mair

The result is not my style, but it is easy to appreciate the many, many hours of skill and craft to get that result.

nice pics as always.

im sure the painter has painted some truly nice looking cars.

this is not one of them. haha.

but i shouldnt hate, because i think that paintjob/rims/truck actually match each other quite nicely. and by nicely i mean i think it goes together but its not something i would EVER drive.

props for following his dreams though.

I hate to say this but I think it would look better slammed. Anythings better then horrendous wheelgap.

Pics are incredibly clear Anthony! Great work...
