if im painting my truck black should i mask the windos? the hummers paint matches the windos colors perfect so do you think my 150 will look ok?

mask the windows and the windsheild because if your bkack is a different shade of black than the truck then it would really look like junk

I have painted cars black before, and there are as many shades of black as there are paint companies out there. Your safest bet is to mask the windows. Just speaking from experience, you will always be able to tell a slight difference between your black and RadioShack's black. That difference also adds to the realism of the final paint scheme.

always mask the windows unless you have to repaint them, then dont un mask them until after you clear coat or you will get some nasty bubbles. the windows are actually a dark grey and dont match the black cars perfectly i have pictures that proove (sp?) this. but in some lights they do look like they are the same
