Nice looking project! What color is the cab? Is it SOM?

jgh64pkup · 02-28-2009, 01:15 PM

By SOM do you mean sunburst orange metallic if so then yes it is
100 dollars a quart but it looks good

Yup! That's exactly what I meant by SOM. Guess I've spent too much time on ls1tech in the past.

I think the color is well worth the cost. It looks awesome in the sunlight.

BTW, Twiggythedrummer has a GMC that he's painting the same color.

I just noticed, is that slicks in the 2nd pic of the truck?

jgh64pkup · 02-28-2009, 02:06 PM

i thought his was sunset orange
i got the slicks from my uncle who owns a tire shop
there already worn out im going to use them for burnouts
im was supposed to get som mt et streets yesterday but the guy never called me back

And he said "HOW MUCH!?"

TwiggyTheDrummer · 03-01-2009, 12:20 AM

Hey jgh64pkup, it's looking good. And as Time said, I'm running the Sunset Orange Metallic on my 63. The progress is coming along great though and I bet that engine sounds like a beast. What trans are you running?

It's about $450 a gallon. So far, I've had to buy 3 gallons. There's so much pearl in it along with multiple colors and metallic flake. But hopefully I'm done buying that now.

Yeah it's a transparent paint so in the cab alone there are about 6 coats.

what did you use under the paint

TwiggyTheDrummer · 03-02-2009, 07:48 AM

Used the green etching primer then the gray Quicksand liquid fiberglass primer. Used both at full coverage. So the color went on over the gray Quicksand.

Joey~AP · 03-02-2009, 09:39 AM

Nice! I like that color.

kizer · 03-02-2009, 11:22 AM

Dang man that sucks. At least it's up and running though. That's farther than mine is.

jgh64pkup · 03-04-2009, 10:06 PM
