Why paint and not a powdercoat?

Yeah Jim, why? Either way, looks damn good.:thumbsup:

I think it looks outstanding! I'm also guessing since he owns a body shop, the paint was a logical choice. Although in my opinion, I prefer paint. If you use good products it is as durable if not more. It can also be repaired much easier. Surface prep is easier because you don't have to deal with the high heat for baking the powder. Anyway, not to put words in Bill's mouth. JMO. Again, wow. this is going to be an awesome truck. I like trucks!:thumbsup:

thanks chad,ill be intouch about my intake inlet ideas. bill

because i can do paint and not wait on anyone.i was trying to match the powder on my wheels(i came pretty close) BILL

Hey no complaints or criticisms here Bill. I love this build and look forward to updates. I was just curious. Hell, I wish I knew how to do some stuff on my own without waiting on others. Moreover importantly, not having to pay others, huh? I could have saved a few $10,000 by now. LOL!!:hail:

Sounds good Bill. I might want to talk to you about some sheet metal work on our cab. Let me know! :cheers:

update
 

few update pics chassis comming together. bill

To powder or not
 

Chad, I understand why Bill painted his chassis because he owns his own shop, I respect that. But there is no way liquid paint can match a proper powdercoated chassis. We sandblast to white condition, Phosphate wash it 3 stages,Seal it with a rustprotectant/sealer/ Epoxy powdercoat prime it and a powder topcoat.
