My 69 C-10 was painted purple by p.o. I had it repainted 518 med. green w/ white top. Also decided on green front bumper instead of white. Looks much better in classic gm colors to me.

It looks great, nice color.

landsurvey1 · 07-10-2009, 09:06 PM

Hey, your truck looks great. Was that a two stage paint job, base/clear coat? And if so, how many coats. Also, did you have it wet sanded and buffed. My truck is in the process of getting painted that is why I am curious. I was also wondering how long you waited before the first wash?

69C-10SWB · 07-11-2009, 10:42 AM

Thanks for all the comments. Yes it has a base and clear coat. I had it painted so not sure if wet sanded or not, but the guy at the body shop said they sanded it quite a bit. I waited 3 1/2 weeks before the first wash. Was out of town though, not sure if I needed to wait that long. Here's a before pic when it was purple.

Arad68 · 07-11-2009, 12:26 PM

A definite improvement.

big mike71 · 07-11-2009, 12:33 PM

The truck looks great, and the only vehicle that should painted purple is a old Mopar.

STOCKISH · 07-11-2009, 10:19 PM

Tha green looks so much better. Nice truck.

bad6772 · 07-11-2009, 10:32 PM
