Finally, I have some COLOR!
Had an exciting weekend, we were finally ready to shoot some color on my K10 SWB project. Just like everything else, this is taking a lot longer than anticipated. I am at 2.5 years right now. Anyway, we got the interior painted, including the steering column and 6x9 speaker panels. I think it came out awesome, what does everyone else think?
Check out my build for more detailed pics and progress. Heres what I used: 1. Kustom shop DTM Epoxy primer on bare metal 2. SlickSand polyester filler primer over any body filler 3. Kustom shop 2K High Build Primer/Surfacer 4. PPG Deltron - GM Meduim Green/Polo Green. Code- WA9539 (early-mid 2000's Gm truck color) 5. Kemperle (shop line) urethane clear. Polyester primer ![]() 2K Primer surfacer ![]() Color & Clear!! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]()

Re: Finally, I have some COLOR!
Awesome job! I'm jealous...Were you a painting virgin prior to this? Just curious, I'm planning on painting mine myself and can't work up the courage to start with metallic.

Re: Finally, I have some COLOR!
Ive had a professional body guy helping me out, so thats the only reason i went with metallic. I was going to go for it all on my own, and would have gone with a flat color if i did. Now that ive had his help, I dont know how i would have done it alone. However, i feel pretty confident about the doing the next truck myself!

Re: Finally, I have some COLOR!
Beautiful shade of green. I love it and if I wasn't going back to the original Orange I would go this shade of green.
