By way of the body being complete it was time to apply the paint, which would help grab the attention of all show goers.  Choosing the necessary colors for a ride is always tough, but Pat had in mind what needed to be done to gather the attention deserved. The color of choice would be a Viper blue sprayed with plenty of pearl over top. As a base coat it looks clean, but graphics where a must.

Nearly 40 other colors are found amongst the graphics. Demand (Pee Wee) of West Minister, California is responsible for the paintwork. Needing to do something about the height of the company van, this would be where Ballistics motorsports would excel. Starting with the rear of the ride, the frame rails would need to be notched in order for the axle to have room to roam at low heights. With the rear boxed, Pat would need to fabricate brackets to mount the Firestone airbags to for instant ups and downs. In addition to the rear laying out, the front would need to come to equal levels. To manage this properly, Pat installed a set of Bell Tech drop spindles along with their shocks to provide a good ride.  After fabricating brackets for the front bags, the van would now lay level at any height or tuck the 20-inch Kaotic wheels wrapped in 245/30/20 rubber if found necessary.
