I have been following your posts in the "Paint & Body" section of the board.......You did an outstanding job on that paint!! Very nice work...you have every right to be proud!

Don't ya just love the gloss, depth and reflection that base coat/celar coat gives.......!! I'm diggin' it!!

weasel29gm · 10-01-2002, 11:31 PM

Paul, Shane took the words out of my mouth!!!! GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!

72chevyLWB · 10-01-2002, 11:31 PM

That is very very sweet. Arrow straight. Is that intense blue?

Paul Clark · 10-01-2002, 11:47 PM

98 Dodge Intense Blue Pearl.
4 coats of base and 3+ coats of clear.
Didn't use reducer on the bed. Came out rough.
Sanded each side of the bed with 1000 grit 6 times.
Then shot more clear.
Sanded the whole thing with 1500 grit and then buffed.
First paint I have ever done in 9 years.
Like I said - It's been a long summer.
Will be happy to share what I have learned.
Learned a lot more than I really wanted to know.

You guys are great! Learned most of this stuff on this list.
Many thanks to all of you.
Paul

Very nice indeed! Excellent job. You should be very proud. I can't wait to shoot the color on mine!

moose · 10-02-2002, 01:04 AM

WOW!!!!! very nice work I also have followed alot of your post and have tried to learn from them hope mine come out that nice.

1967LWBstepside · 10-02-2002, 12:12 PM

Is that Dodge Blue Pearl a mica paint instead of metallic? She's a beauty! Very nice work. Like the color.

JD72 · 10-02-2002, 01:11 PM

That is one sweet ride and you did a killer job on the paint. Very nice indeed.

kingparts · 10-02-2002, 01:14 PM

Man that looks good!!!!!!!!!!!!

toms68cst · 10-02-2002, 01:29 PM

That's stunning.

You need to paint the tailgate lettering so she'll wear brand her name proudly!:p

toms68cst · 10-02-2002, 01:30 PM

PS those ralleys really look nice too! Is that a stock stance? (It looks like a real pickup.)

Pumkin Truck · 10-02-2002, 03:09 PM

Niiiiice and clean, job well done!

GMC71k20 · 10-02-2002, 03:28 PM

congratulations, came out great

BrianStep72 · 10-02-2002, 03:28 PM

great work. I'm VERY impressed. Maybe someday I'll be able to paint my own vehicles. Now, you've given me hope.

ENJOY THE OPEN ROAD!

Brian

70c10 · 10-02-2002, 03:32 PM

Way to go Paul!

Paul Clark · 10-02-2002, 07:57 PM

Jeesh, guys! I'm blushing. But I can cope. Keep 'em coming.

Yep, stance is stock. New body mounts and pads under the bed probably made her butt stick up even higher. Thinking of lowering it a bit, but will wait until Spring. Not sure how much snow we'll have, and it is my daily driver.
Rims were take-offs from a new van a few years ago. I traded some stuff for them.
The more I look at it the more I realize how lucky I got - and a lot of it was luck. Wish you could see it in dim light. That paint is pretty cool.
I'll shut up now. 408 posts and 407 of them were questions. Many thanks for your help and patience.

71402BB · 10-02-2002, 08:27 PM
