That's pretty nice work -- Who's the painter?
OCD
Lol, you don't say?
D-Spec

Corona Powered
Super nice. Can't wait to see it finished. Did you clear over the decals?
Wyoming
only problem I can see is that real Toyota trucks never had that good of paint work
OCD
It really is very good work... Are you for hire?
OCD
Answers man! We NEED answers, lol
D-Spec
@OCD: yes Sir, I am available for hire as I love to make the whole world a better looking place by adding to it a little Tamiya beauty....
@Wyoming; LOL!! thats awful nice of you to say that...but too bad for Toyota
@Corona Powered: Yes, the decals have to have that 'painted in' look, so yes, they were there in the last update before this was 'cleared up'
And Thank you guys for all the kind comments, enjoy!

Professional body work, I wish to have so nice place to paint!

I second what Wyoming said -- The old Hilux had one step above a military grade paint job. Seriously though, I would love to pay you to do some basic work for me -- Maybe spray a color coat and I can finish the 'details'? Your work is very good and better than most 'spray booth' jobs I've seen where the detail gets filled in.

Lil' rough, but not TOO bad! Shouldn't have used a brush, but some 80 grit should smooth 'er right out.....HARRR! Truly a job that shows dedication, patience and desire, Mate. This kind of paint adds more realism than anything else you can do: Takes it to 'Master'-level! (TIP: Don't jump it into a river or anything silly.) Chris

wow, this is such a beautiful truck. I love looking at it.
