Well a huge step forward the truck is painted :metal::metal:
Friday after working 8hr I loaded the truck and took it to my friend Joe's work to get the party started. We hung all the parts in the booth and clear sprayed. Then got the cab masked for interior paint. The plan was to use 1980 gmc charcoal gray but the mixer machine messed up and made this color I am calling burnt root beer. After 9hrs we called it a night. @2:00am Attachment 1463155 Attachment 1463156 Attachment 1463157 Attachment 1463158 |

Sat got to the shop at 9:00am to look at our work. Wow that is very semi gloss for flat clear. It turns out you have to mix the crap out of this stuff like home depo does when you buy paint. But we decided we like the contrast. The inside of the fenders got undercoating then clear coat.

Then onto the cab. Cab, hood and grill. They would be flat. The sun really shows the color of the interior. So Saturday was a 10hr day when we left it was all painted. Then Sunday we went to pick it up and bring it home.

So much for taking a brake on the truck lol
Today I pulled the compressors, tanks, shocks and rear tires to finish painting the frame. WOW that axle is a stubby monster. Guess I need to clean the rest of the axle. Attachment 1463653 Attachment 1463654 |
