Re: Gray 55
First, it's a '57 and I asked - can't remember who now, been awhile - it's on bags. I know that for sure.

Re: Gray 55
looks like parkwood owns it. Several references to being primered, which he didn't comment on. Post 20 http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=371870

Re: Gray 55
100% being full gloss clear, 40% would be less than half. That is what I have heard the "satin" finish rods described as. I think that is also the gloss level on original chassis black. Not shiney, not flat, just right like Goldilocks porridge.

Re: Gray 55
Do the satin paint jobs hold up. Or is it something you will have to repaint a year or so later. Does anyone know if parkwood the owner of this truck is still on this forum. Thanks guys I appreciate your help
