85 outta paint
 

this belong to my professor where i take auto body, i did most of the body work myself beside a lil help wet sanding from some of the other students, and then painted and cleared it, we made the decision to paint the grille and chrome trim since nothin is chrome except the wheels, hope you guys enjoy.

Nice job! Looks pretty good. What green is that? I kinda like it.

Re: 85 outta paint
 

thanx! im not really sure what it is called, but i can get you the paint code if youd like

Re: 85 outta paint
 

That works for me, or what it is off of if a factory color. It almost looks like the British Racing Green. Good work though. Does he still have the wheels in these pics? I think I would run them for him if he just has to get them off his hands. :)

Re: 85 outta paint
 

i am not really sure what the color is off of, cant see in pics but has a blur hue to it, and tons of metallic, looks reaally good in person, and the wheels are here if interested :D

Oh, not the British Racing Green then unless it has been altered. Let me know because I am curious now.
-->The wheels look good but they are about $775 too much for me. :lol: He should be able to sell them pretty easy I bet.

Re: 85 outta paint
 

So when are we going to see it on the street? Are you working on it at the Byron center? The work looks great; you should be proud.

I usually say I hate green, but I believe I could make an exception for that one; it looks great. Looking forward to seeing the truck out on the streets.

And hey, 3ric84, we're in Lubbock, Texas...we don't need dirt roads to be covered in dirt; the dirt comes to us!

Re: 85 outta paint
 

lol thhats not just reglur sand thats clay lol
i get that on my inner fenders from the bmx track

Re: 85 outta paint
 

It's not that bad most of the time...but I'm old enough to remember walking home from school when I was a kid and the dirt would get so bad the streetlights would come on in the middle of the afternoon. We're completely surrounded by cotton fields...the cotton farmers have gotten a lot better in recent years about running a sandfighter over the land after they harvest to keep the loose dust from blowing as bad. But we still get a couple of days a year, mostly in the spring, where it's pretty awful...but the rest of the time, when the wind isn't blowing that hard, our climate is pretty nice. And look at the bright side...our trucks don't rust much, except where the dirt gathers and holds water...of course, our windshields and chrome are always sandblasted...

From the same photo site, what the land around here looks like:

Re: 85 outta paint
 

The truck looks really nice with the phantom painted to match. I think this is the first time I have liked a phantom grille. Good work.
