Painted my truck this weekend!!! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

redhead69 · 08-22-2005, 10:48 AM

I've been working on this for 4 long months and finally see some color.

FirstGen · 08-22-2005, 10:51 AM

looks similar to my truck. Looking good! What is the paint code from?

redhead69 · 08-22-2005, 10:57 AM

Still have to polish and then start the fun part, puting it all back together with new parts!! This is the first automotive painting I've done and I can testify that Bodymen earn every penny they make. Other than a little orange peal and a few pcs of dust it came out flawless.. I owe my wife a huge hug and flowers for puting up with the long hours away from home... Thank you Amanda.

wet sand it!!

great color choice.

redhead69 · 08-22-2005, 02:24 PM

thanks everyone! I am heading up to Seattle to see a Mariners game next week (playing those damn Yankees!!) and on the way back I want to stop off at Classic Heartbeat.. meet Wes and buy some parts. I have that week off and should be productive. Hopefully get it out of the garage by Labor Day.. kinda ironic. I will keep you updated!

Beautiful, I love the color!!!

It's not the painter that does flawless work, it's the detailer that makes the paint job flawless. That will buff out nicely!

krue · 08-22-2005, 08:30 PM

Looks good! Can't wait to see it assembled in the sunshine.
