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!

looks like a nice shade.

Zoomin · 08-07-2010, 11:42 PM

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?

basemodel67 · 08-08-2010, 12:23 AM

Neat! You must have the rare dual glovebox option.

Really nice shade of blue!

Mt Man Chad · 08-08-2010, 10:17 AM

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.

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.

I also used Kirker Paint. It turned out real well......

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.

Your interior looks great! Where did you get your seat upolstery? Was it listed as bright blue? Good job.

Mt Man Chad · 08-09-2010, 06:03 PM

Boy! That's freakin gorgeous!!! Two big thumbs up.

red71cheyenne · 08-09-2010, 09:41 PM

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.

1LoC10 · 10-01-2010, 05:55 PM

hows it coming along now?

LostMy65 · 02-10-2012, 04:42 AM

Hey! Those are my buddy buckets out of my old 65
