2000 Chevy S10 Custom Paint Job - Prescriptive Painting

The '00 Chevy S-10 you see below doesn't look too bad at first glance, but upon close inspection, one would notice that the ill-fitting roll pan wasn't correctly color-matched to the dime's Summit White factory paint. Not only that, but the Checkmate fiberglass tonneau cover, which is an attractive piece, was left unpainted for way too long and the white finish was starting to show signs of fading. The scratched and dimpled tailgate still sports its factory paint but it has taken some serious abuse over the years. For those of you keeping count, that is a total of three different shades of white at the rear end - sadly, that doesn't qualify as a legitimate three-tone paint scheme. To clean up the rear end, we decided to throw a few parts into the scrap bin and start over from scratch. Never has a prescription alleviated pain so quickly.

With the S-10's bed stuffed with a new roll pan and tailgate handle relocator from Sir Michael's, tonneau accessories from Checkmate, and Anzo USA LED tail and third brake lights, it was left in the hands of Tom Prewitt and Matt Means, co-owners and resident automotive physicians at Department of Customz in Anaheim, California. The truck underwent a series or cosmetic upgrades that consisted of welding, prepping, sanding and, of course, painting. Watch as the fellas at Department of Customz work their healing magic on the Chevy's discolored, rough skin. Pay close attention everybody-show season is right around the corner!
