Well I decided either Kubota orange or john deer green most likely john deer green and Ill have to change my interior but I was thinking of painting my roll bar I bought from a guy I work with yellow and plasti dip the grill and rims yellow lol. I like to be unique but the roll bar I bought is a real roll bar mounts in the bed of the truck on the truck frame so its not a fake light bar.

Well damn.

I so want a good compressor and spray gun. :(
A 30 gallon compressor is enough to spray at home the gun only needs 30-50psi most of them have a dial to control the psi you don't need a shop compressor to spray with. I have a 30 gallon that runs off of 250. I want to get a 80 gallon so I can use impact guns I can only run ratchets and drills on the 30 gallon.

A compressor is always nice to have I wish I had one to run impact guns so when I replace ball joints and stuff I can use a impact instead of a breaker bar it makes like so much easier and your not so sore at the end of the day. I used my gfs dads to take my bed off at his garage it was so easy and fast. I have a electric impact for small things it's nice I can take bed bolts out and everything but I cant remove a tire lol. Its nice to have when you fix all your own cars.
