Re: My 56 build
I like it without clear. For contrast you might consider doing the interior or engine bay in a satin or matte clear coat.

Looking good!! So you painted the inside first? I have to come up with a plan to paint in the future. Keep up the good work. Steve

I’ve been trying to figure out how to get 4-5 coats of clear on it without screwing up the steps/rockers. Thinking the plan is to clear everything but those until the end. I’ll let you know how it turns out.

Re: My 56 build
Cab is in final paint. Just need to spray the raptor liner on the bottom and it’s done.
Here’s a video to go with the pictures. https://youtu.be/OUXTIUfFQtE

Re: My 56 build
The bottom is now complete with Raptor liner. Next is to Color sand the firewall and roof before I put it back on the frame. Figured it would be easier with no frame/engine in the way. I’m currently trying to get it reassembled enough to get my daily driver back in the garage

Re: My 56 build
Love the color choices and it came out great. I did the raptor on mine also and really like the way it came out. Steve

Re: My 56 build
Update. When I last posted, I thought the cab almost finished. After the cut and buff it became obvious I had experienced solvent pop. This means I have to redo most of the cab.
![]() Motivation… a friend came across 10 of these 1” rough cut curly maple. So all the wood will be redone! Why not, but you can’t beat the price. Today… back at it again. Thought I would start small. Just the steps. Different clear and different base reducer. I’m going to cut and buff Tuesday. If it looks ok, I’m going back to the cab.

Re: My 56 build
Maybe you could find a rental spray booth to spray the cab. It would be cheaper than more paint supplies, not to mention the time.
Been there with solvent pop. Looked awesome till the next morning. Peeled it off in sheets like cellophane. |
