This DIY Truck Project Using Phantom Red Just Hit 19 Million Views
We always enjoy seeing our customers take on their own paint projects — and Aaron Lopez absolutely nailed it with his recent truck build. He repainted his entire truck using Alpha Automotive Paint’s Phantom Red basecoat, and the results have been turning heads online.
Aaron documented the whole process on both TikTok and Instagram — and it’s been getting a ton of attention. His paint mixing video alone has now passed 19 million views on TikTok, with followers constantly asking what color it is and where it came from.
If you want to see more of his work, you can follow him at @aaronlopezyepez20 on TikTok and @streetspraycustomz on Instagram. He’s been consistently posting behind-the-scenes clips of his projects and giving people a real look at the DIY process — definitely worth checking out.

Phantom Red Over Black Sealer
Aaron sprayed Phantom Red basecoat over a black sealer, which gave the truck a deep, clean red finish with just the right amount of contrast and depth. It’s a bold choice that turned out great on a full-size truck — definitely a standout color without being over the top.
What makes it even better? It’s a full DIY project, done in his own space. Just one guy documenting the process and showing what’s possible when you use the right products.
One Gallon, Full Coverage
He used just 1 gallon of Phantom Red to cover the entire truck — proof that with good prep and technique, you can get solid, full coverage with less than most people think.
