The Kindigit color does look really close, didn’t know they had paint colors. Mine is off the new Dodge Charger, Destroyer Grey.

Really? Do you know what it's called? DUH, sorry. I should learn to read! lol

In your photos it looks a little green and I LOVE it. but the color I've seen on the Dodge looks like a plain gray. Is the photo pretty accurate?

It’s hard to get an accurate photos of the color. Here’s an under hood photo that block out reflections. I think this shows the color better

That's why I thought it was the kindigit clay, it has a little green. The under hood shot shows it more grey. I do think it looks great.

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

54ChevyLS - Nice job. I like it a lot.

I'm curious about the paint finish. Between the Before pic on the trailer and the later pictures it looks as though you may have treated it with CLR or lightly wet sanded it. What; if anything, did you do?

I'm more of a new paint job guy myself but that looks great (minus the fresh paint job, haha).

Thanks! The original color is the blue, the original owner literally brushed on a silver rust treatment.. I replaced the lower cab corners and lower cowls and then tried to simulate a worn out silver paint job by sanding the silver off somewhat and then finished it by satin clearing the whole truck. If you click on my build under this post you can see it all step by step form the day I bought it until now.

Thanks! I like new paint, but this is my first new not paint! I love it! It gets so much attention and I wanted one car that I don’t have to be so anal with scratches dings and dents that I could drive anywhere... wish I did this a long time ago!

Re: How about some pics of 47-59

I can’t remember if I’ve posted pictures of my ‘55.2 since the exterior was finished but I’m always up for showin it off. I am SUPER happy of how it came out. The paint is exactly what I was looking for: The darkest, non-metallic, not-burgundy red.

Anyway, here it is:

Very nice! What red is that?
Kind of reminds me of the mid '60s Corvette Rally Red.
