Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"

I got back in the garage early this morning getting everything set up to spray the cab lower half with Medium Blue. I did a once-over with grease and wax remover then moved on to masking and getting plastic set-up under the cab between the frame so I do not get paint on the freshly painted frame area.

Got the paint mixed up and did one more wipe-down with a tack rag and let it rip. Three coats later and we have a lower section of the cab painted as well as the top of the dash to where the dashpad goes. Not perfect but it sure looks good.

I will give it at least a day or so to gas off and cure, then I can mask off the lower half and get the dark blue sprayed on top.

Re: Super Cheyenne aka the "Devil Cowboy"

Looking great Jim
Not sure if it matters to you or Kenny
But, I believe the area between the dash pad and windshield was a darker blue
From the factory, Also more of flat/satin finish
It makes more closely matched to the dash pad, like most all of the trucks in that area
Although, Chevy did paint that area later, over the stock body color
Like you have already done
Next weekend, I'll be back east where my original truck in this color is
I can post a picture of that area for you guys
