Square84 · 11-16-2008, 11:26 PM

man it the first pic that primer looks super shiny. looks good what color you going with?

1984 swb chevy · 11-16-2008, 11:35 PM

The roof and hood will be black and from the door handles down will be silver. There will be a small green pinstripe. I dont know why the primer looks so shiny.

**old Rusty C10** · 11-16-2008, 11:40 PM

looks like a great start! is the hood kinked?

1984 swb chevy · 11-16-2008, 11:41 PM

No kinks in the hood that I know of.

bigblock73 · 11-17-2008, 12:12 AM

Looks good so far.

The 73-80 trucks had more to worry about with kinking hoods than the 81+ trucks did.

I think I will let it sit in the garage until winter is over. This will let the paint cure and I wont rush putting it back together. I cant wait to see it with some paint on it. Thanks

Sounds like a great color combo. Now you're at the fun part. I loved it when I got to where they started primering and the truck got to be all one color. Good luck!

Hoods69BadBowTie · 11-17-2008, 07:26 AM

Thats awesome looks great so far. Can't wait to see it done and all in one color!

1984 swb chevy · 11-17-2008, 08:47 PM

Thank you for all the replys Its taking longer than expected but it should be worth it in the long run.

1984 swb chevy · 11-30-2008, 08:52 PM

The bed and tailgate are finished. The rest of the truck should be done soon.

BruthaMan · 11-30-2008, 09:15 PM

Looking great! The black on silver looks really nice. Best of both worlds!

72BlckButy · 11-30-2008, 10:02 PM

tvblazer78 · 11-30-2008, 10:17 PM

Man I like that!! Looks good sir... You know what would set that think off, A lime green pin stipe at the black silver line... Looks good anyway...

69chevy1 · 11-30-2008, 10:28 PM

1984 swb chevy · 11-30-2008, 10:44 PM

ed3196499 · 12-01-2008, 07:53 AM

Looks great so far! I was thinking of this color combo for my dually so I am anxious to see your truck finished (I was thinking a red stripe not green though).

1984 swb chevy · 12-03-2008, 10:23 PM

Here is a pic with the whole truck painted. It has to be wet sanded and buffed. I should have it back this weekend.

scotts62 · 12-04-2008, 12:49 AM

**N2TRUX** · 12-04-2008, 09:48 AM
