STLTHVX - feedback

Agreed. Later this summer, I will be doing some extensive body work on my other vehicle. I will look into getting this done at that point for sure.

I almost gave 0177 an airbrushed, scaley, snake/lizard/dragon skin paint job last summer. I'd offer my services, but you're pretty far away Making that hole become invisible, takes a bit. How many shaved door handles have you seen, where the opening is still faintly visible(or plainly visible). This paint contains quite a bit of red pigment, and can be a @!$#% to match." Perfect" matches will require blending into the doors, and hood. Now it's getting pricey$$$... again,to do it right. I'm thinking a nice, matte (not flat) black, all-over would be YOU. Match those wheels real nice. Take a Florida vacation for a few weeks. Between November and now... when the weather is perfect, the humidity is low, and the shooting conditions are optimal~ Wayne

Yeah, I had a panel resprayed by a reputable collision shop when I had my Xterra hit and the paint never really matched. In the sun you could always see the difference. I don't know if I am willing to risk that with my VX. Like you said, I would have to repaint the whole truck. This way, I could also fix the dent on my tail gate and the tiny dent on my hood, but this would get exspensive.

For now, I am happy with the respray. Plus, if the clears ever do become available, it would be nice to run those.

PS - No offense, but no thanks on the Florida trip. I lived there for 7 years. I consider leaving FL one of my greatest accomplishments, only second to my leaving Chicago for Reno!! You can keep your palmetto bugs and your fire ants and your uncomfortable crab grass and all that sickening humidity and stupid Disney World and all the rotten, wretched, old people, all to yourself! Can you tell I hated living there?

Naaa, the Keys suck too. Boring as hell, unless you are a Parrot Head who likes to listen to crappy music and sit in the hot sand all day while the sun cooks your living flesh...

Sure,sure...next you'll complain about hurricanes, wildfires, giant spiders, homicidal mosquitoes, yellow fever, tornadoes, shark attacks, venomous reptiles, hail storms, deadly fresh water microorganisms, alligators in the pool, crazy lightning kill ratio, low wages, illegal immigrants, and road rage shootings. Look man, it's always easy finding the ugly stuff, just remember... it's really, really warm in winter

I forgot... It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small, small, small world. It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small world after all, It's a small, small, small,small world.

You can't make anything too black. Especially matte black. Glasrit does some really nice water based stuff for BMW and Merc.

So far, my only complaints about Reno are the rediculous gas prices here, the rediculous home prices, and the WIND! It is so freakin windy in my back yard I can't even bbq!

But other than that, its freakin great. Its so close, to so many killer places, I can't believe it took me this long to get out here!

And quite honestly, Florida is an ok place to visit. I lived in Boca Raton and Tampa (while I was in school at USF) and Tampa is MUCH, MUCH better than Boca. Boca is one of the most superficial cities I have ever been in (I have yet to go to L.A.) If I had to go back, I would definitely go to the Tampa area...much more down to earth.
