As I do repairs on my Ram, I clean and paint everything. I want to know all views , positive and negative! Everything was either black or rust, some alum when I started, The timing chain cover blew a gasket spraying water out !



View attachment 250495water. Any way I went crazy with paint ! Let me know what you think?
Since U asked. UH, NO. Reminded me of all the different shapes toy you bought yer young child to "learn" shapes. Remember, U asked. But as others have said, Yer Truck, do wat works for U. SINCE we R now supposed to be PC, I will make no inferences to geographical areas.

LOl, I appreciate all the input, some that insinuated a different lifestyle , while amusing , were not correct, but I definately appreciated the humor !

Um... Ok, you asked for it... The mix of bright colors reminds me of something built out of Legos. :)

I like it. Immediately reminded me of the 1996 VW Golf Harlequin Edition:

Of course, this is coming from a guy who painted his '71 VW van like a WWII bomber…

@Skatulaki As far as the paint colors, I love to spruce things up when I'm working/repairing on my stuft. I'm a Raiders Fan so use a lot of silver and black, but man, you do what you want and have fun at it.

Even Bob Ross would fail ya. You asked. But, if you like it then that's really all that matters, so there's the +/-.

Those were both B-17G models. Mine was the earlier VW-17E "Flying Buttress," which lacked a chin turret. Lost in action in 1995.

I have .3 hours in my logbook in the EAA's Aluminum Overcast, which was a little more exciting than piloting the 'Belle.
