Working on the Fauxtina - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

About a year ago I decided that the truck needed to go to bare metal. Due to other things I put the project off until last week. I have started working on it and will keep updating with pictures.

The first coat is a flat black primer. Second is a few coats of Red Oxide primer. I am finishing it off with Satin White. The plan is to wet sand the whole truck with 600 grit. This will give a nice smooth finish and a weathered look. In the obvious spots of wear I will take most of the white and expose the red oxide and black.

Stay tuned.
