Paint review:
Painted some interior parts today with Eastwood's Dark Blue Pearl Urethane, Very Close to original color. It's Kirker Automotive Paints - http://www.kirkerautomotive.com/html/our_products.html Sand it in a few days with 1500/2000 then second coat and clear. Shoots super easy, looks nice a shootable gallon runs $119 with activator. And super easy to clean up with a little Acetone. Very happy with it's durability on previous projects. Shooting the rest of the 68 SWB in a lighter 69 LeMans blue. Time to wet sand....sand.......sand!

Re: Feeling Blue - Eastwood's Urethane Blue pearl that is.
Looks like a cool project!
So the interior is going to be a darker color than the outside, or are you just accenting a few of the interior parts?

Neat! You must have the rare dual glovebox option.

Re: Feeling Blue - Eastwood's Urethane Blue pearl that is.
Yep one of the glove boxes was the test panel for gun setup.
Shooting more today... Now I look like a smurf!!!! Interior and body is a lighter shade of blue originaly, you can see the color on the firewall in the engine photo. Darker blue accents are like original parts, the ones I shot yesterday.

Re: Feeling Blue - Eastwood's Urethane Blue pearl that is.
It looks a little darker in some pictures. I been looking for a blue for my next project which is going to be Blue and Silver Two Tone much like my Oldest Sons black and silver pickup we are just about done with. I really like the cost of that paint and the shade I was looking at where I buy my paint was $500 for a gallon of just the paint (Arrival Blue Metalic PPG). I guess that in the mix of the paint its almost half Red so thats what makes it so expensive. Thanks for posting the pics, It looks great.

Re: Feeling Blue - Eastwood's Urethane Blue pearl that is.
I also used Kirker Paint. It turned out real well......
http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=413663 It's the second truck I've done with Kirker. Very affordable. Not everyone can afford $2000 or more just for paint material, especially when we did 3 coats base, 3 coats Orange Candy and 3 coats clear.

Re: Feeling Blue - Eastwood's Urethane Blue pearl that is.
That is a nice blue! I'm going to paint the Blazer a little darker color. Is the Kirker paint all pretty much around that price? I'm looking for one with a metal flake in it. I'd like the 2003 Chevy Indigo Blue.
