Custom paint job Tacos, Let's see them!

Surely someone out there has put hot rod flames or candy apple red on their taco

 

Somebody did a full body retro green color... spruce green? Pretty recent.

 

This is going to be a really disappointing thread for you.

 

Think you went the wrong way OP

 

I wonder what the approach and departure angle is on that thing?

 

Lol. I know right. I had a bodydropped ranger back in the day

 

When they raise it all the way up on the hydraulic suspension, better than most off road trucks with a 6" lift.

 

one guy had a sweet paint job called stone

Another one had a teal. Not so much.

 

Quicksand with matte clear coat

 

Theres an inferno second-gen TRD Sport up my way. Have yet to get a pic of him, always passing the other way. Looks freakin awesome.

Theres also some chick driving around in a silver taco with pink crap all over it. That one, however, I will not take a photo of..

 

Are you sure the 2nd gen isn't a Pro? The 2015 TRD Pro was offered in Inferno Red... AND as an access cab.

Edit: for example

Unless he de-badged it from a Pro to a Sport. It has the same stickers on it that my TRD Sport did. Theres a first gen inferno Tundra running around Portland too. And a lime assed green third gen an hour north of here. Theyre around.

 

I get tired of white and black and grey, and where I live the majority of most vehicles are these colors. About five years ago the last five vehicles I'd bought were white and I as tired of white... but the prices were right on the vehicles. The last white vehicle was a Jeep Cherokee with some body rot and a good drive train, and the Jeep had enough miles on it that I didn't much care about any road rash. I'd always wondered what a rattle can paint job would look like, so I went down to the local Home Depot and bought ten cans of paprika colored Rustoleum and taped off the Jeep and painted it in my driveway. It turned out pretty good, and in fact the guy that later bought it from me said the color was one of the reasons he liked the Jeep.

Looking on the insurance auction sites I found a '12 Tacoma that had been rear-ended... and of course it was white. So after I did the repairs to my own satisfaction I visited Home Depot again.



And since painting this truck I've painted my wife's dark blue and sun scorched Corolla a light green she likes.

I presently have another '12 Taco that I'm repairing, again from an insurance auction, and the truck is black which is the only color I dislike more than white. I'm planning on painting it sand.
