Looks good and glad to see you're keeping it in check.

You don't happen to work around pools do you?

Looks pretty good I have been wanting to try it myself...mmm maybe now I will.

Yes, I own and operate a swimming pool maintenance and repair business. I used to do it full time, but recently went back into programming because of benefits (or lack of, I should say), fuel and chemical prices. It makes one heck of a side gig though. My brother and are currently maintaining 6 commercial and 32 residential pools.

In fact, this has been one of my ideas for the truck. I thought about putting my business name and logo on there, but I'm sure everybody won't "get" the patina'd, weathered, rusty POS look of a shop truck!

I`ve had guys tell me they scrub the lettering with Ajax or Comet and that weathers it real good.
I`m not sure about the GM white lettering getting thin and letting moisture in even over body color.It seems odd.I know the white accent paint gets thin.But,I don`t see lettering jobs get rusty,just GM letters.

Thank you, sir.

Hey 67, looks great. I would definetly do that for your pool business. I think "shop" trucks are cool, if there is shop that it's actually used at.

UPDATE!

I was getting some pics for a member and walked past the doors that painted back in the junk yard and decided to take a few pics. They have have laying back there about 9 months and the patinafication is moving along nicely. The letters are rusting slighty from the underneath like I though they would. I thought I'd share.

P.S. I never did get around to painting letters on my blue truck!
