The GMC trim for the window? Yes.....just haven't had time to go out and install. I need to drill and mount the passenger side mirror (which I just painted this weekend). I need to drill holes for both and wanted to do it at the same time. Will be one of my projects this week. I have the back of cab trim also to complete the 1960 sail panels.

Paint laid real nice this weekend. Couldn't have asked for better weather. Slow rains on and off all weekend kept the dust down.

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Nice job on the paint! You are making me want to repaint my truck in high gloss. When are you going to do the bed? When I shot mine I had it all apart and still didn't get all the stake holes painted correctly. I thought the bed was the hardest part of the whole paint job. I can't wait to see it in all one color. Again good job!

And this is the 1st thing I've painted since 1998....so I'm thrilled with the results and I have no paint shop. Just been picking good weather days and staying about 98% trash free. Maybe its beginners luck.....again. And I've been debating painting my roof white like yours....just not sure if it'll fit this build or not. I think it looks great on yours though. |
Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Truck is really comming together man! Since you re sprayed the paint match is perfect. Hope everything works out great with the bed. Can't wait to see it all together. Keep up the good work amigo!:ito:

Re: 1963 C-10 in NC
Thanks! I know it's not factory paint option but I wanted something different to break up the blue. It would look good on yours especially with the wide whites. It's good you didn't get trash in the paint not having a booth. I too did't get much trash in the paint my problem was the light and the gun wasn't set right. I have waves in mine from the gun spraying to fine and I didn't see it until I rolled it outside. I'm planning on respraying it again someday, I just don't want to do all the prep work again.

Moved the hood up under the barn yesterday. Will be my project for the week. Hoping to have it ready for paint by next weekend. I do have some minor work to do on the front corners.

If it gets the job done with decent results I say roll with it. I use a lot of plywood too, but I place paper over it if I'm painting on top so trash doesn't blow up off of it. As you can tell, a freshly washed off later worked great for the grill support. I use 40lb fishing line to keep it tied in place....and washed off saw horses for the fenders.
