[kaney]

...its mine

[lilpigzuk]

if your keeping it as virgin as you plan to , then go the factory colour, otherwise, go some rank pink colour (god forbid someone did that $hit ) and thats the first step to modifying it.......

[rokhound]

......go some rank pink colour (god forbid someone did that $hit )

What sort of f**kwit would do that?
Ispose it would be the same sort of person who would use plywood doors and lunch box bits in the engine bay



Leave it red.

the panel work is costing me an arm and leg so it should be perfect i hope

[tintin]

Congrats on the pending arrival ... but with a baby arriving on 12th May I'd suggest you get that truck painted asap - cos you ain't gonna have a cent left to do anything with from here onwards!

Is it legal to have a childseat in the tray of the pickup ... secured to the roll-bar? ...

Stay red - it's cool and bold enough to stand out plus all the other colours have to be perfect or they look naff: red can be dirty and still look the part

still havnt decided on what colour yet and yes the two kids keep spending all my money
nothing is going to get done till we move at the end of the month and get my own shed to work in

[chocolatelustboy]

hehe - but funny thing is ... I reckon kids are far more fun to play with than the wakka! ;o)

[rangimotors]

i always wanted to paint mine a different colour but there is so much bare metal on them inside and around the show it wasn't worth it. Not like a car where ya can get away with just the outside and door jams (maybe engine bay) with a good old hilux ya'd have to do the lot full inside and outside job.

the plan is to do inside and out, its completely stripped so theres no masking
