finally got truck painted - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

coltonk · 07-08-2012, 08:22 PM

Picked the truck up 3 months ago from yesterday and its came a long way. My Dad and I have been working on this truck every weekend and Im pretty sure I've touched every screw and bolt on this truck, which makes it mean that much more, still not all the way done though (i don't think I'll ever be) but i still have small stuff to do like new speakers, A/C, just small things that. I'm gonna be buying new rims and tires within the next month hopefully. However here is a glimpse of where I am today. Hope you guys enjoy and thanks for helping with the questions I have had or the questions you might have already answered to somebody else on here which then helped me.

Negative on the clear, when I used it, it came out looking like a chalk board. Just sanded it all down and sprayed it all over. Little time consuming but it turned out really good. I will have a cover on it and garaged so should last a while.

No not yet. I'm going on a short deployment for a few weeks here soon I plan on organizing or at least cleaning up under the hood when I get back and will take pics of interior then as well. It was a goal just to be able to drive it before I leave now I'm wishing I didn't cuz its going to kill me not being able to drive it.

No doubt!! Once again thank you for your help on the paint information and mix ratio's. The truck came out better than I expected.

JRANGER · 07-08-2012, 11:28 PM

I bought 2 gallons of paint, 2 quarts of hardener, and a quart of reducer. However, I also painted inside the cab, under hood, inner fenders, and under the hood, and had some left over. U should be able to get away with 1 gallon of paint, 1 quart of each reducer and hardener.

hey man nice truck. since your planning to get new wheels for your truck are you willing to sell me your rims that you have right now?

legendman · 07-08-2012, 11:33 PM

Nice job, truck looks good!!!!

Gordonr1973 · 07-09-2012, 08:45 PM

Very nice!

I have a feeling there are going to be alot of burnout tracks just outside your front driveway on the road!! :-)
