This is my 2006 GMC Sierra 2500HD. It was a great looking truck until i got some storm damage, so i decided to get a custom paint job with my insurance money. Worked out great for me.. :D

Lift is coming soon!!!!!

Looking good .

Looks very good! Nice work. I like the design, color scheme and divider.

love the hood. what type is it?

love the hood. what type is it?

Hey.. Thanks the hood is a Suncoast Single Scoop Functional Ram Air Hood. I will post more pictures tomorrow.

I ordered some goodies today.... Cognito 4-6" with all the goodies! Grille, bumper, black chrome lights, and 100 sq ft of Dynamat!!!! :D

That looks nice- insurance premiums well spent!

Lookin Good!

So, when can I bring mine over? :D

Nice, looks awesome just not my cup of tea, but it looks great.

Here are some more pictures. :D

nice job! some black wheels would look badass with that color scheme! :D

Now that HOT you do nice work I realy like your paint booth I hope you have good neighbors and they don't tell on you.

Hey everyone. So do you think i should put side chrome trim back on or not??

NO!! it looks perfect the way it is. i agree w/ 1tfrot some black wheels would look killer.

i hope mine comes out that good when i paint mine in the garage. care to give some details on the paint and steps, i'm considering a 2 tone but i've never done one.

Dude, sick job!!!

Thanks Guys!!!!!

So is it very hard to install the Cognito 4-6" lift yourself.. I got it in today. Also " Deaver Leaf Springs, dual fox shox, and much more... :cool:

My question is Why??

The hood looks good, The stripes not so much.

Well i think it looks great!!!!!! I really enjoy going to car show and wanted to start showing my truck. Showed truck for the first time this weekend and got First place in my class and best paint of show.

I do like the two tone. im just not a stripe guy.

Unless its on an old hot rod or something.

How nice is the paint job? any oragne peel, or fish eye?

My mom just had her pruis repainted from a minor fender bender, and it looks like shit.

There is dirt and oragne peel and fish eye, and in the right light you can see the sanding scrathes.

She thinks it looks great.

im gonna take it down there and learn them a thing or 2 about body work tommorow.

LOL

I understand what you are saying.... It is pritty flawless. No Orange peel, sand marks, or fish eyes. Was 400 nice cars and trucks at show and 10 judges. All the judges picked my truck for best paint.

You doing the door handles too? And clear corners? I say you decide on whether to put the chrome trim on after you lift it..

truck is looking good once you get the lift on your truck is really going to stand out in a crowd

Hows it going.. I ordered chrome handles not just covers. Clear style lights with black chrome inside. I think it will look good.

Looks nice.

Fat Mat pictures.

Hey guys.... Thanks for the input. Do you have ant other suggestions!!!

Looks awesome! I don't have any suggestions, looks like your doing one hell of a job, keep it up.

Nice job man! Looks great!

Im sure if you want some input on what else you should and shouldn't do to "your" truck, your buddy JOKERGERM would be more than happy to give some of his input! :stirthepo

truck is looking good what material are you using for the seats

looks great man! kinda like mine just a lot more going on with the stripes. i didnt do mine though, wish i had those skills

Hey guys.... So a few people have thought come black chrome wheels would look badass. What do you all think about the wheels that i already have. Should i sell my chrome wheels and get some black chrome wheels?

Here are some pictures from show that i entered. Got First place and Best paint.

I think its time to line-x the bed or at least paint it so you dont have overspray. Other than that, LOOKS GOOD

i'd say go black wheels, also imo loose the chrome mirror caps

i like the chrome but not those wheels, too many sharp edges on them, i would go with something with a much bigger lip and a more simple design, because the paint is so fancy i dont think you need a rim thats equally as fancy. your eye doesnt know where to look first, its kind of distracting so i vote chrome thats simple, clean and classy. and especially if its getting lifted you need a deep dish rim. i also agree on losing the mirror covers, keep everything above the stripes black and id also suggest ditching the bolt over billet grill for a full replacement without the GMC logo. also clear headlights would look really nice. sorry for all the suggestions, the truck is coming along nicely and looking great! and congrats on the show win.

edit, gotta throw 2 more things in here, id go to 03+ chevy tail lights, they look soo much better than GMC tails and paint those door handles!

Does any one else see the butt cheeks in the back? I like it

Oh yeah!!! Looks like a "pa-donk-a-donk" butt! :D

Trade me even up for my truck :cookoo: and use your magic to make another BADASS truck.

It looks great!!!

truck is looking good what material are you using for the seats

Hows it going... I am getting black leather for the seats with ostrich leather in the center, but the guy that is doing it for me is really busy right now, so could be about a month.

roll pan is sexy

i hope you didnt mold that hood scoop into your stock hood.. hopefully that pic was just a few spots your fixing in a fiberglass hood.. cause with the heat of a motor it dosnt go well with body filler/fiberglass. I have molded on few hood scoops and never fail to crack cause the heat.. It takes a while but it will do it taht and the vibration of the customer slamming the hoods.. I refuse to do them anymore.

Looks very good. Im amazed you sprayed that in your garage.

I agree on the door handles. The black ones look out of place.
Wheels look fine to me.

No the scoop is not molded into stock hood. The hood is a Suncoast Single Scoop Functional Ram Air Hood, but was a bodyman special. had a few flaws which had to be fixed but saved $900.00

painted door handles!

looks good man where did you get that roll pan from? thats the 2nd time i have seen that style that goes all the way around up to the corners

i think he molded the rollpan into the bed sides, same as he shaved the tailgate handle.

BTW, did you relocate the handle to the inside of the gate?

nice work

nice paint job! hey wats the name on those fenders?

Ahhhhh...that's what that is. I thought it was a head to toe shot of his g/f laying on her back...

Truck looks great! I agree on the Chrome mirror caps. Gloss Black would look better, a little more clean. Great job on the paint, I wish I had the skills! I think the wheels look good though. Keep all the black up top, don't start bringing it down on the bottom too.

Carslutt, I LOVE the avatar! You gotta love a chick who knows what her purpose is! HAHA J/K

I really do think that i need to take off the chrome mirror caps. Should i try to paint the mirrors themself?

I think you should swap those mirrors out with some towing mirrors, and paint them to match the truck.

I agree.

Very nice job on the truck man. I know how much work it is, and wow you did a great job! Getting a clean paint job in a garage is nothing but a miracle. I have done it.

By the way, paint the mirrors black...keep the wheels...lift her up a bit...and clean that overspray up in the box lol.

Great job.:hail:

wow, great paint job!

Hey guys sorry it is taking so long to get pictures of truck with the lift.. I have been in ireland...

lookin good. nice job.

I agree, crome mirrors need to paint them black and the door handles to match the body. other then that, Nice work!!!

That looks great!!!

Hey guys... How many of you all have installed a lift on your truck your self? Was it very diffcualt?

Hey guys... How many of you all have installed a lift on your truck your self? Was it very diffcualt?

Not bad at all, once you get underthere for the first time it looks a little intimidating, but once you start going it gets really easy. Many of the lifts have great instructions. It is just time consuming

Hey guys... How many of you all have installed a lift on your truck your self? Was it very diffcualt?

Obviously, a guy of your talent will be able to figure out a lift I'm thinking. :)

Here are some new pictures!!!! I am thinking about selling it now!!!

Dude, your truck looks awesome. You have some talent with the body and paint. Truly a great job. A well deserved 1st. place for the truck show.

Raise your bumper up to the grill, and get rid of that black plastic spacer thingy. Truck really looks amazing.

Looks very nice! Great work! Best of luck with the sale if you decide to move it down the road.
