The name of the color is Blood Spill Candy.

What an appropriate color for Halloween!!!

Jerrett, Corey and Chris your truck is amazing and Kirk (Raptor Addict) gorgeous color and paint job!!!

Corey the fab work looks really clean! Props to all your help at RaceCo - this is an amazing build and can't wait to see that beast run "Off Road"

Here is a little behind the scenes:
For people looking at this truck and thinking it looks cool…. Well, this Raptor was built in a matter of weeks and at most race shops with multiple engineers this project would normally have taken 6 to 12 months - minimum. I went to RPG just three weeks ago and saw a freshly welded lower front a-arm and both Corey and Jarrett looked cool and calm about the build. I knew the truck was still in pieces and that Kirk at Raptor Addict was screaming for it to show up to his shop so he could get started on the paint job. Kirk’s Candy Paint Job should normally take 2 to 3 weeks to prep, paint, block sand, clear and buff and Kirk and one helper knocked it out in a matter of 4 days.

Incredible Job Guys….

That is friggin Awesome. Thanks Chris, RPG, RACE Co, etc..., for making my Raptor feel so inadequate. (I got to resists; hide the credit card, or get a divorce)

Those boys need that kind of recognition not only for the final product but also for the timing reasoning mic just touched on!

Well, I just got back from spending the day with my new baby. All I can say is that pictures don't even come close to doing this truck justice, and that it is absolutely gorgeous.

Also, there are tons of Raptors at the show, and none of them even come close to what RPG and Raceco have accomplished.

I LOVE IT.......

I met Chris today after he spent some time with his newly transformed truck. The grin on his face was priceless.

It was great to finally meet the man behind the the scenes that created all of this chaos! You sir have given us mere mortals so much to strive for in our quest to find the ultimate upgrades for our Raptors.

Thanks to all involved in this build. There is no doubt that a number of new innovations will be brought to the Raptor aftermarket as a result of Chris' build. I can't wait to see how this thing performs in the dirt.
