    Id finish all the body work then primer the whole truck some sort of Hot Rod flat with some graphics. That way no one can say its not yours & youll still be able to show it as much as you want. Oh & Scr8fest is a great show to debute a truck...Ive attended that show for 5 years straight & have never been disapointed!
