Check out my paint job...all done with interior! *PICS* - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

jakeslim · 07-11-2005, 12:51 AM

..just need carpet on front floor. Did not paint front floor due to heavy coat of Por-15 already on it. I'm just going to insulate and carpet front(not rear).
This was my first time spraying paint. Lots of work! but great experience. The paint is not "perfect" but it is solid and shined up nicely.

Driver Door

Tailgate

Dash

bed

pass door(thats not spray paint, I installed new door window kit and it is lube to get the rubber parts installed)

I used dupont's chroma system. Shooting the interior was more of a "practice" for the outside. I'll be setting up a smaller makeshift paint booth in my garage and paint front end, then rear qtr's the next weekend. First I have to smooth out the body. No major dents, but getting smooth is not easy either way.
On the paint, i just read a ton of information from here and another forum, talked to a guy at the paint store to get set up with paint, then went at it. The doors and dash came out great and that was my intention. The rear floor is not perfect, but I planned on covering with rubber mat anyways so it was more practice. Also the rear sides are getting panels installed once they are dyed black.
Painting was not that difficult, its the damn prep that sucks!

Looks damn good..

Job well done.

Jimmy72custom · 07-12-2005, 10:12 AM

Nice job!! Is that a chrome stick?

mastercraftkpk · 07-12-2005, 10:34 AM

I have a paint booth idea for you.

I just went to Sam's and bought a 11.5' x 20' carport for $200.00. It works great as a paintbooth and only takes about 30 minutes to set up. I cut a hole in the upper center of one end and duck taped a household A/C filter to the outside while rigging some 12'' A/C ducting at the bottom of the other end w/ a fan and even have "down draft".

I'll take pix next time I set it up.

Only CST's were chrome.

Cool, the stick looks like the right one for the year by the bend. When I changed to a SM465 from a TH350 I could not find a chrome stick that was for 69- 72 . I finally went with a newer two bend chrome stick. My transfer case stick was already chrome.

the only prob is I would have to set up in the driveway and i was really trying to be descrete due to "the law". I am in a corner house which makes it worse! I uses plastic sheeting(painters) to build an ensclosure. Your method seems so much more practical though!
