Here's mine - about $400 in Rustoleum rattle cans for everything, cause I had a huge learning curve putting down a metallic out of a rattle can good! - Black Night Metallic, sick color in the sun, flakes are a silver/gold, we shall see how it holds up to the weather around here now!

Need a bit more drop in the front now that the wheels are on

After some clear and wet sanding...not bad

It goes pretty good...

Wow...Beatcoaster that is pretty cool for straight out of the can!!!!!!!!

I know it's a '64-'66 but this one made an impression on me...

Nice stance also....

WOW! Dude -- You did this with Rustoleum out of a Spray Can?!!!!!

Beatcoaster · 09-15-2010, 01:29 PM

Yap, metallic Rustoleum out of a can over the whole truck, of course it took over a month of nights and weekends! About 3 coats of paint and 3 of clear to get it done. It took a lot of trial/error to get it to lay correctly and look good too, that was the biggest hurdle, getting metallic to lay correctly from a can - ha!. I eventually got it down and after a lot of work was ready to wet sand and polish it. I have a couple areas that aren't as shiny as I'd like(need to resand w/1500/2000 and buff), and a couple places where the clear started to fracture from there being too much moisture in the air when I laid it, but it looks better than the Maaco purple color it was when I got it!! What's nice is that any chips or spots that need touchup down the road are easily done - we will see how the clear holds up the UV over the next year or two, but it has been 8 months so far and zero fading issues.

I really like the new silverado light metallic brown. Saw it on a 54 last weekend. It's just a little more brown tan pewter. If my truck wasn't black I would have a hard time painting my truck any other color.

Ttt for some new ideas

jdalexa84 · 01-03-2014, 05:24 PM

Not my truck but a paint job I like

john@thepier · 01-03-2014, 05:50 PM

I have been wanting gun metal grey myself for a long time, best that I like so far was the color they used on the Craftsman truck, there was a build on it you can check it out on the 67-72 build threads. That's the color I recently told my body man I want my truck painted. John
