I'm going to be doing a retrofit this winter and I'm looking for ideas for color schemes. I originally was just going to do all black but would like to see anyone with a blue truck that has color matched headlights. Let's see what ya got.

Plus all the skills and gear to get it done right.

We can certainly do them for ya, or supply parts for a DIY setup as well.

We have quite a few pics at our instagram page too - https://www.instagram.com/retroshopllc/

I'll say though......the fun part with blue? Dark blue......and black......hard to "see" a lot of difference there. It can look killer though!

Heres a set I love though ;)

That looks killer! I see that the morimoto h1 works great in the quads but what shroud do you recommend?

Thanks for the replies guys. I went through the link for retroshop and there's a lot of sweet schemes in there.

Depends on how much cutting you want to do. Mini Gatlings fit with minimal cutting......all others need cutting.

oh yeah! ALL sorts of stuff we've done over the past 6+ years!

I'm pretty sure I read in a thread somewhere that they use a product called 'liquid mask', it's a brush on masking tape.

We have used that in the past, depends on the build. Some we do. Others, just some standard 3M tape

Jeremy.. orange or green 3M right? Not the blue painters mask tape you get at Home Depot or Lowes. That's my experience with painting motorcycles anyway.
