How to paint 1967-72 GMC tailgate
There's more than one way to skin a cat.
How would you guys/gals paint this tailgate? Mine is same color as this pic, White with a black billboard. Do you paint the whole thing white then use tape or paper to paint the black on top of the white paint? |

I would do it all white and then just do the GMC letters in black but that's just my opinion on aesthetics.

White first, black second.
The black will reach full coverage in fewer coats. For a thinner tape edge. If your doing BC/CC. Base white & CC. Prep like for a reflow coat. Spray black BC then reclear the entire panel. Doing it this way gives you plenty of protection for mis-tapes or repairs while spraying. Alternatively you can do the same with a intercoat or blending clear. It's less overall protection, but faster. If you want to spray it all at one time. |
