Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

Got the 3rd spray done today, turned out ok. If I was to do it again I would have taped it so the B pillar was sprayed with the back of cab. there is a slight paint line when the light is right. Now that I have gotten back in the swing of things I am sure I could have done it that way without too much trouble.
Doubt anyone will ever notice it but I do. There will be a 4th spray in the future, I will spray bed liner under the floor and on the steps, that will happen after all the blue is done.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

I hear that ds, seems soooo easy for other things to take priority. I was so nervus about this, I have not sprayed in 10 years. I over thought it far too much. Right now since I've broken the ice, my switch has flipped and I'm anxious to get more sprayed, silly me.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

Yup, it's like riding a bike after not having a bike for years. You went from a single speed back then to something with many speeds and whizzie gadgets but, even after all that, the bike riding part is still the same. Lol.
Be carefull or one morning you'll go out to the shop and find you went a little overboard and everything is freshly sprayed. Compressor, workbench, toolbox etc. Haha

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

Did another 6 things today and they seemed to turn out good. I thought about it and decided the front bumper should be the way it will be on the pu so I used a couple boards.

Re: norms 55 chevy pu build

A couple more of my silly pics. The endgate turned out good, there's a lot of places clear can accumulate and sag on the Chevy letters but I had good luck and no runs. Camera just does not do the color justice.
