lookin good warmaster!
like the color you chose.

other than painting on a pin stripe or something, maybe use the bB luggage rack bars to give the bed some bars like on my flamed truck.

Nice. I like how you angled the back of the cab slightly.

Maybe you could put a clear coat, or dip it in Future to gloss it up a bit. Other than that, great work.

it does have a clear coat but it made the paint really dull. i might try to get some clear tamiya paint or some clear nail polish. what u think?

I don't reccomend mixing brands or types of paints. Personally I start with laquer, and finish with laquer.

I read about using that Future stuff on TRC. It's like an acrylic floor protection type stuff. Never tried it so I'm not sure I'd reccomend it, but I've seen others get really nice results with it. If you painted it with enamel that Tamiya stuff might work well for you too. Just be careful, and maybe test on a spot inside the body to make sure it's compatible with your previous paint.
