Next, Heather dropped her truck off at Ronnie's Custom Refinishing in Grenada, Mississippi, where Ronnie Boatman finished the body work by shaving the squirters, door handles and tailgate handle.  | The clean set of flames led your eyes to where the handles used to reside. |
From there, an Alter Images roll pan was installed to give the rear end a smoother look as well. Finishing off the rear end is a set of taillights from a 2001 Tacoma.  Up front, Ronnie installed a chrome 4x4 bumper and valance from a '97 Tacoma and then recessed the headlights to accommodate the Trenz polished phantom grille. Ronnie also installed a set of 2001 rear view mirrors.

 With the bodywork complete, Ronnie utilized Dupont paint products and went to work spraying Heather's Tacoma with a slick paint job that would surely amaze the judges. The truck features a slick European Jet Black base with colorful flames.  To accomplish the beautiful flame work, Ronnie first laid down a silver base coat and then a candy sapphire blue outline was sprayed. Next, Ronnie sprayed candy Aztec Yellow, candy Tangerine Orange and finally candy Crimson Red to complete the flames. The Jet Black was applied to Heather's truck last.
