Thanks again y'all, I really appreciate it. Tomorrow my wife's family sees it for the first time since she bought out their shares. I hope they like it as much as y'all LOL.
As far as the paint, it's original. The truck only has 50k miles on it. Literally was driven by a little old man to the VFW every day. However, if you didn't look at the build thread I'll share how I made things stick out a little better. First being painting the fender flares black, originally they were grey and to me they just kind of sat there. Second was I removed the front valance and had the stock chrome bumper powder coated gloss black. Then I bought a WARN universal winch mount and took it to a buddy of mine that owns an exhaust shop. He welded some thick square steel beams to the winch tray and made the light bar. I then took all that and had it powder coated as well. Then my bud welded all of it to the front of the frame. He also had someone form the skid plate for me and he then welded the mounts for the bolts and bolted it on.
