Diagram / Measurements for Painting 2 Tone SWB? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I searched thru the paint and body section but didn't find anything.

Does anyone who has repainted a deluxe 2-tone truck have the factory specs for where to lay the paint down?

White roof
Orange hood and upper bed
White middle bed
Orange lower bed

Thanks. Want to make sure it's where it should be!

I had the same problem when I did my truck. I searched and searched for a step by step and found nothing. I think my trucks trim came out really well, and I intended to make a thread to help others doing this.
But like usual, I have procrastinated and never got around to it. I will try after Christmas to write something up.

It was pretty daunting to me since I had never done it before, and not wanting to screw up my lines after all the work I had done, but if you take your time it's not too big of a deal.
