I like the OG mirror mount way better even if you left it as is.

67c10rustbuket · 08-25-2012, 01:22 AM

Nice! How did you get the red paint to lay in so smooth in the bowtie? Was the red the last step? That is awesome looking!

VA72C10 · 08-25-2012, 01:31 AM

very cool work on the emblem...any more of the cluster?

Thanks man, I'm going to use the OG, but paint it satin black. It doesn't show in the pic , but it's pretty crusty.

Thanks ! I used an airbrush, and the red was the last step before clearcoat.

Thanks Johnathan, nothing more on the cluster yet. still trying to decide what will get the leafing treatment, so when I do the transparent black I only have to mix it once.

Awesome! Love that color too. It's close to what mine was when I got it and Wifey sometimes thinks I should stick with that. We've worked awful hard to get that stuff off tho! For now, I'm still saying Butternut with a white top. I'll be looking for you tomorrow afternoon

XxCHEVYMANxX · 08-26-2012, 12:21 AM

Thanks Man ! Color choice is a tough one. The color I went with is a variation of a GM color called Auburn Nightmist. The original color had fast blue in it, and it made it have a purple hue. I didnt want that,so we took out the blue and no more purple. It's also in the dupont paint registry now. I'll post pics when I get the paint on it.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 08-26-2012, 12:00 PM

Up at 6:30 this morning ready to go and it was raining. Luckily it passed over @9:00, so I was able to PAINT!! Will have some pics up as soon as the fog clears out. Clear coat really fills up a room.

69 gmc · 08-26-2012, 12:50 PM

At first I was like "Whoa what the heck is he doing to that emblem?!" then I continued scrolling and I love the way it turned out!

AWESOME!
I like the color even more now. Can't wait to see some panels out in the sun. Nice job man! How bad is the overspray in the shop? I've never done any automotive painting, but have sprayed a bunch of machinery. I know how to operate and maintain a gun and figured I'd spray my own. I'm thinking just a single stage. I bought a bunch of lumber and an a$$-lode of plastic to make a "booth" in my shop. How much painting have you done? Again, looks killer!

Thanks jl ! Overspray goes everywhere. I just wait for the clear to be set up enough, then open up the shop and let it air out. I,ve been painting for @ 15 yrs, and mostly painted motorcycles. this is my first complete vehicle. If you can spray machinery, you'll do just fine on your truck.

Thanks litew8 ! I always liked the metal, and earthtone colors. I wanted to go a bit darker than the factory copper color. I can remember learning to drive the 65' chevy truck on grandads farm. It was dark metallic brown/white. Ahhhh the memories.

truckzilla · 08-30-2012, 11:04 AM

What a great, great color for your vintage ride! It's looking beautiful.
