Finally in paint
Well, I met my goal to get the 67 in paint by spring break. Today was the last day of school before a week off and I got the truck in the booth first thing this morning. After masking and final cleaning, I applied three good coats of the blue stuff. It looks like an Easter egg, and just in time for the Easter bunny.

Re: Finally in paint
There are two things I'm proud of with this truck.
1. The sheet metal is all original with the exception of rockers, cab corners and the lower corner of the right fender. 2. The paint is a PPG single stage and it laid down nicer than any BC/CC I've ever sprayed. The stars must have all been aligned and the 67 must have wanted a single stage (old school) paint job. It turned out better than I could have wished for. |

Which line of single stage is that in ppg. I know they have several single stages. That looks like it laid down really nice. Did you use an HVLP gun or conventional sytle? |
