I knew a guy in SF who was sent a cease and desist letter from EVH because his Ducati was painted that way.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Lmao 😂 my lawyer would have a heyday with that bullshit.

Hell that wouldn’t even see court.

[-]

70camaro@reddit

You have a lawyer but that truck is all you have in the world?

Okaaaay.

[-]

pancrudo@reddit

I saw you mention not liking him, and I agree that he is a dick. I worked in live music for a while and never heard anything good about working with him.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

I don’t understand why he was so mad at everyone else who was helping him become legendary.

I enjoy a few Van Halen songs. But Eddy was so far up his own ass that it makes me want to hate him.

[-]

donald7773@reddit

Yeah and my Miata is gonna have an LS

As soon as I find 15 grand

[-]

YamsAtTheDisco@reddit

Bro loves van Halen cant hate on that lol

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

I actually hate Van Halen haha 😂 I can’t stand Eddy. But this paint job make me smile and feel proud Everytime I paint stripes on an amp or a guitar or this truck.

When I stand around and I stare at what I created it’s one of the only times that I’m on top of the earth. I did something else nobody else was doing and came out all right.

I dislike Eddy very much. But he came up with this paint job.

[-]

NoseResponsible3874@reddit

lol you paint the same bullshit on everything you can find, huh?

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Why not.

Fuck Eddy tho.

[-]

SomnambulantThing@reddit

I did something no one else was doing and came out all right.

I mean, you came out all right, but you're not the only one doing it

And it's really weird that you had EVH so much, but can't stop drooling over a paint job he threw on a guitar in the 70s.

[-]

Softpretzelsandrose@reddit

He’s literally trying to build Eddie’s truck.

Love how you posted a final render after raging at everyone in the comments on the last post.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

It’s not like I’m not going to do it haha 😂 Have you seen the guitar I built?

That was much HARDER. I ain’t made at all I took an edible for breakfast.

I just want yall to know what I’m building. Because right now it just looks like a 100$ plastidipp job.

But this is only first layer. We have many more a weekend to go before it will be a evh relic.

[-]

Aleutian_Solution@reddit

If you think painting a guitar body is going to be more difficult than painting an entire vehicle then buddy I’ve got some news for you.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

See that door.

It used to be red.

Next week it will be white.

And then next week after that it will be red.

And when you peel the 500 pounds of masking tape the image I posted will reveal itself.

[-]

Aleutian_Solution@reddit

Doesn’t change the fact that it won’t be easier than a guitar body.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

That used to be red 4 hours ago.

[-]

SomnambulantThing@reddit

You planning on doing any body work to it too, or you just going to leave the door all wavy like that?

Pal, I've got news for you, as a person who has painted both guitars and cars, you're about to be in way over your head. Just the amount of sanding alone on one panel of that truck is going to take more work that a guitar ever would.

Unless of course you don't care what the finish looks like. In which case hack away.

[-]

NoseResponsible3874@reddit

He’s not planning on sanding jack shit, just plasti dipping everything

[-]

NoseResponsible3874@reddit

It looks like shit

[-]

BeastDynastyGamerz@reddit

Judging by the dents you can see in primer alone that body is no where near ready for paint and should not be in color next weekend

[-]

Remarkable-Ad9880@reddit

To make matters worse... its rattle canned plastidip

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Bruhhhh

This is the truck you are talking about.

It dosent deserve a nice paint job. It’s been wrecked a dozen times given the state of the floor.

This is the trucks last huraaaaah.

The truck will blow the motor up eventually and all sell it for a better truck.

The truck is not even worth this eddy Van Halen plastidipp. Paint job.

But the truck is all I have in the world. Besides my guitars naturally

[-]

spamreader@reddit

LOL oh got it.

you’re one of those dunning-kruger fellows. things are making sense now

[-]

Downtown-Ant1@reddit

Have you seen the guitar I built?

That was much HARDER.

Now i'm sure you're just a troll.

[-]

Spotttty@reddit

I don’t want to discourage you but building that truck to lay frame and tuck those wheels is an absolute shit ton more work than a guitar.

But do it. Looks killer. You don’t see many F150’s of that era layed out.

[-]

Gizmosfurryblank@reddit

this final render needs updated headlights. just sayin

[-]

OkCartographer175@reddit

The EVH special

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

I know a thing or two about this paint job haha 😂

[-]

deevil_knievel@reddit

Do you wanna ask for some pointers from people with paint experience or are you legit gonna rattlebomb and destroy your truck?

I'm here for it either way!

[-]

slowwburnn@reddit

Did you learn those things sometime after that guitar?

[-]

OkCartographer175@reddit

Lol nice

[-]

HSLB66@reddit

Wheels are sick. What are they?

[-]

OkCartographer175@reddit

Thanks. They're Niche Gammas ( https://www.nicheroadwheels.com/niche-1pc-gamma ). Some guy was selling them on FB marketplace near me for really cheap because they had minor curb rash, and I didn't give a shit about that so I picked them up. The other wheels I run are some of the G35 Rays that I painted with a colorshift over black.

[-]

mitchsusername@reddit

Wait am I blind? In the pic they look like aero race wheels (or similar) with the round cutouts. Like something you would see on a stock car

[-]

OkCartographer175@reddit

In OPs post yeah, but the commentor was asking about the wheels in the pic I posted

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

To much work for me haha 😂

[-]

OkCartographer175@reddit

Unfortunately it was a vision the refused to go away until I painted it lol

[-]

phalangepatella@reddit

So wait. You’re talking about a plastidip version of a paint job like this, but have left out the body drop, air ride (or hydraulics) and everything else that makes this AI rendering really stand out?

[-]

Rancid-Eggnog@reddit

Paaanama!!!

[-]

Triggered-cupcake@reddit

Trash, much like EVH as far as a human being goes.

[-]

OkraInternational505@reddit

I like it ! Looks like a NASCAR craftsman truck

[-]

OHoSPARTACUS@reddit

There is a small toyota pickup with this paintjob that used to drive all over the place in my old town

[-]

publicsausage@reddit

Post when it's done

[-]

throwaway72592309@reddit

Right lol. Then he’s raging at everyone in the comments when they tell him painting a guitar does not mean you can paint a car 😂😂😂

[-]

StretchFrenchTerry@reddit

Ridiculous that anyone’s upvoting this.

[-]

shupack@reddit

Why? It's the future tense of "pics or it didn't happen."

Basically, we don't believe OP, and want proof.

[-]

learn2die101@reddit

I think he means the post, not the comment.

illbeyourdrunkle@reddit

There's an Eddie Van Halen Eagle Summit in lemons with that paint scheme. 2 guitar necks hold the spoiler on, and the radio system is built into a guitar amplifier box, and a microphone is the shifter. It's awesome.

[-]

xfaye03@reddit

At this point it is no longer a truck, but a teack car.

[-]

Softpretzelsandrose@reddit

As I understand it you can’t really do tape lines over plastidip. The whole thing is that it pulls off.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Paint lines on plastidipp.

[-]

jefffisfreaky@reddit

OP, they’re a few years old at this point but back in the mid 00s Nike released a Van Halen dunk with this colorway. It would be cool if your shoes matched your truck

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Danm you right b

[-]

SuperReleasio64@reddit

Are tou gonna put the Eagles on there too? I wonder how those fare for normal city driving.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Big fucking eagle wings.

Like Jesus singing for lynard skynard With giant eagles wings.

And I’m in the front row and I’m hammered drunk.

[-]

SuperReleasio64@reddit

I was talking about the tires lol. They're Goodyear Eagles. It's a slick tread tire mostly used in racing applications.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

I got you now. Haha

I made a stencil to spray paint eagle on the side of regular truck tires after I buff all the stamping off the tires haha 😂

[-]

badcrass@reddit

Your going to notch the frame so that you can lay down that low? That's a lot of work, and based off your plasti dip skills ....

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

C notch with a flip kit. And some helper bags when I want to throw something in the back.

Up front probably just leave it at its ride height it currently is. It’s got like a cut coil or something. It sits about as low as I want to go.

The rear we will slam it on a c notch. And it will be able to “air out” And lay frame if you dump the bags. I’m not gunna slam it but it will probably have nascar wheels lol. 😂 All probably rebuild the front end stock. No lowering spindles or anything

[-]

Softpretzelsandrose@reddit

That’s not what that set up would do at all. Helper bags don’t go lower than the flip kit height, they’re basically just stronger shocks.

If you’re thinking bag on leaf spring, that’s also only gonna work for like a year before giving out, let alone be borderline dangerous.

I really don’t mean to be such a nay sayer, but this isn’t gonna do what youbthink

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Same setup as my buddies dads ranger.

Only he has a 5 drop on the front with spindles and arms

[-]

ebvis@reddit

Pretty coooool

[-]

WhiskeyFeathers@reddit

I think that’s would it would look like if it wasn’t in a nutshell actually. If it was in a shell like a nut, then I wouldn’t be able to see it I think…. Like this

Damn, I just built an everage looking XLT in FH5 from the Lightning. My since passed Grandma drove an extended cab Green/tan XLT for 350k miles. It got me thinking about doing some racecar things to one, one day. I would love to see how your's turns out! This looks rad.

[-]

Tuques@reddit

A bit too slammed for my liking but at least it isn't raised.

[-]

Conscious_Dish7127@reddit (OP)

Just a render my actual truck is going to be lowered 2 in the front and 7 in the rear. It will be able to drag the ground if you dump the air out of the bags.
