69 air cab · 01-23-2004, 09:40 PM

Ok....I'm about to paint my rad. support and fender wells.
Do I paint high gloss black or low gloss?
Note: truck will be red.

**Stocker** · 01-23-2004, 09:43 PM

99% sure, low gloss. After all these years, mine's no gloss!

TEXAS 68 · 01-23-2004, 10:27 PM

I beleive from the factory they where low gloss, but I notice nowa days guys are painting fender wells same as truck and rad support black. both look good to me

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-23-2004, 10:37 PM

I would guess flat or a satin black but I think the gloss look's better..IMO..

classicchev · 01-23-2004, 10:55 PM

Semi gloss, correct me if Im wrong , but i think the frame inner fenders, and rad support come from the factory wtih chassis black. wich is semi gloss. darren

CPNEJR · 01-23-2004, 10:55 PM

I agree with FRENCHBLUE72 with the gloss but that MO

classicchev · 01-23-2004, 10:58 PM

Hey frenchblue, I dont think anybody would even notice or care what the inner fenders of that beast in your last post. All I noticed was the huge fan belt and that funny aftermarket air cleaner. DO you know what I mean. Darren

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-23-2004, 11:05 PM

Yep I know what ya mean .... ITS A NICE BLAZER..

classicchev · 01-23-2004, 11:21 PM

Thats a Blazer, too cool. Do you have any other pictures, looks like Hugger Orange to me.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-24-2004, 04:06 AM

Here is the only other pic I have of it..

imdarren · 01-24-2004, 04:12 AM

From the factory they were indeed Semigloss, Chassis black, or satin black (all 3 the same).
But I do like them painted the color of the truck.
I don't like them gloss black.

Just my .02

fender wells Same as truck or black, I have seen the Rad supports the same color matched (mine are all gloss back)

69 air cab · 01-24-2004, 09:53 AM

anyone have any pics of red truck with red fender wells? I hope to paint torch red. I guess I don't get out much or it's still early........what is IMO?
Thanks guys for all the good info.

FRENCHBLUE72 · 01-24-2004, 11:15 AM

Here's a red one..

weasel29gm · 01-24-2004, 12:53 PM

Pickup a can of Rust-oleum Hammered Black and try it. Drys to a semigloss and has a textered look. And easy to touch-up and blends well.

In My Opinion

69 air cab · 01-24-2004, 09:23 PM

Do any of you recommend just a spray can (rattle can) to paint. I'm building a show truck and would think a professional gun should be used......what say you?

69 air cab · 01-24-2004, 09:26 PM

Say Frenchblue.........the blazer wells look real shiny.......that's low gloss?
