They paint trucks, busses, and cars. The paint booth we did mine in was tall enough for a man to walk on top and still have clearance over his head. They do some nice work! Iwent with solid metallic colors. I didn't go with air brush, or fades. I wanted a quick match in case I had one of those uh oh's!!

We need to get Kyle a bird!!! :D

Spare Tire Compartment

I'm a little behind in posting...but back in October I was finally able to replace the spare tire that blew on our July 4th trip. Since I had the bumper off to access the spare tire compartment, I went ahead and cleaned that area and painted it, along with the rim for the spare tire. Not a big job, but worth posting...

So that's what that area is used for, was wondering as ours looks old and empty! 8-)

Very, very nice!
