i seen that truck in person a few months ago at blood drag in ga and also at spring fling in panama city and it was just a flat blue maybe just a tinted primer. if you take a hard copy of the pic to a paint store they should be able to get it pretty close for ya. the yellow on your truck now is a tinted primer also. they can tint primer anycolor you want. you maybe able to hit uo lil shop of horrors and they might tell you the color of the truck.

^^^Agree, probably a tinted primer. you can tint primer but a general rule of thumb is not to exceed 10% tint to overall volume of material. Once you exceed the performance of the primer will decrease.
Its either tinted primer. Or possibly hot rod flatz.

Those lil shop guys are pretty cool folks, so I imagine they would give up the info pretty easily.
And on a separate note, that is one sexxy sheetmetal bed.

primer holds up decent but if u paln to run it a long time i would go with the hot rod flats. it has flat clear and all so it last just like normal paint man. the yellow primer on your truck now has been there since either late oct or early nov 2008. but look how many trucks been rockin the same primer for years. its gonna fade over time but all paint does that.
i primed this few years ago...
just ppg k-36 primer with blue tint....

the only way to slow it down cause no matter what primer will fade as well as paint is to keep it in garage

you talking about the new owner?
dude called me telling me how fucked up the suspension was and it tore his tranny up....
but we DIDNT do the suspension.. we bodydroped the truck and some bodywork .. then primed it....
it was a guy called Blazin Kustoms.... that did the suspension....

The ranger is Gump's. He's great friends with one of my buddies. If lil shop won't give you the color I'm sure James will tell me.
