Yoos Brothers Construction Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Here's some pictures of what I've got done on the for the last month. I painted the engine about a month ago and just painted the cab about an hour ago(yes the paint is still wet). Yes you can look but PLEASE DON'T TOUCH !!!!!!!!!! The paint on both turned just about perfect. The pictures don't do the paint color on the cab justice. It is a really nice Mercedes Green. Hope you guys enjoy.

umodelnut Posted July 10, 2012 Share Posted July 10, 2012 Yea, but I heard on here there is a good Du-pli color that looks almost like that. Was wondering what he used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoos Brothers Construction Posted July 10, 2012 Author Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks for the complents. Vinny, the paint I use is PPG Omni. I used to use PPG Shopline but the place I get my paint got bought out and they don't cary it any more. The Omni and the Shopline are basicly the same except for one thing they mix in it. If you want I can get the paint code and name of the color off the can.Thanks again, Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it an 866 and what's the tranny?Cab looking sweet as well. Is the frame done too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
