Re: My 1967 Chevy K20 Build Thread
8/4/2024 - 8/12/2024
Final priming completed At this point, I believe that I have the body work on the truck about 98% complete. After applying a full 3 coats of Eastwood Urethane 2K Primer Surfacer on all components of the body, I am now to the final sanding stages before I can apply paint. This past weekend I fixed a flat spot that I found on the bed, and finished up the hood, cowl, and tailgate and then put everything on the frame to fully cure for the next 2 weeks or so. My plan at that point will be to work from the front to the back doing final sanding, fixing any blemishes that I missed and then paint. As far as paint goes, I have decided to go with TCP Global’s Restoration line of Acrylic Urethane. For the body, I will be going with “Grabber Blue” and will paint the cab “Championship White”. It is rewarding to finally see things coming together. I did get a bit of overspray on the panels during the priming, so after it was dry, I went over everything with a red scuff pad to knock it down and remove any nibs that were in it. It all gets sanded anyway, but that is the swirling that you see in the primer.

Re: My 1967 Chevy K20 Build Thread
Looking good!
Not sure how the TCP global compares to the PPG Omni AU, but it should be fairly easy to lay down flat, and you can sand out imperfections and buff easily. |

I went with the same stuff that Scott (Loudchevy) did on his '70 build. I went over and checked out his truck and the TCP stuff seemed to lay out nicely. I also got the extra slow reducer, and from what I understand that should really help to lay out the paint nicely. Clay
