Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Well it was a long day today. Started around 7am and finished up around 6:30 tonight. Spent pretty much all day sanding and prepping the cab for paint. It seemed like every time I thought I was done, I spotted another area that needed attention
 finally started painting around 3:30. Turned out really nice, I have some runs I'm going to have to sand out but it was my first time trying to spray the complete cab. Painting the inside and the roof was a bear. Not looking forward to doing that again.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Looks great man! And x2 on shooting that inside. I had mine whipped, then thought "one more shot" and covered it in orange peel. Had to scrub the whole enchilada again!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks everyone, I'm really happy with how it turned out so far but I still have a lot of blocking and primering ahead of me. Things seem to take a lot longer then I anticipate so hopefully before the end of the year the cab will be Red
still trying to decide between these two color schemes. All Red vs. Red with a White grill. What do you guys think?

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
My 2 cents on which scheme would be the first picture for sure!

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Pretty hard to beat Victory red
 .I was thinking you had already picked torch red? I'm more partial to bright red, so I would say the bottom picture. |

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Are you looking at a white grille vs a red grille, or are the reds different colors? I'm thinking they're the same red, just different lighting.
If you're asking about the grille, I like the red. If you had a white roof, or white bumpers, I'd like the white grille. Not enough white in the rest of the truck for me to justify the grille. My $0.02, for whatever it's worth to you.

Hey Keith what about Candy apple, or Cherry red, two of the nicest colors of red IMO.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I'm going white top and have been kicking that white grill idea around too. I like it!
