Re: 56 shop truck build
Thanks guys.
 I've had a clear vision of how I wanted this truck to look for a lot of years. It's encouraging to know that others can see my vision of this build as clear as I can. We should finally be able to start sanding the body and get it prepped for the black epoxy primer by next week. I had some airbrush jobs to get done and clear coated before using the shop for play time so now that the last one will be out of the shop by the weekend, I get some room to spray

Re: 56 shop truck build
Alright, we finally got started on sanding. A couple more hours of scuffing and we'll shoot a couple coat of black epoxy primer.

Re: 56 shop truck build
It's great for us at home garage painters. It a turbine that offers you continuous, warm, dry, oil free air to your gun and is a genuine HVLP set up. It transfers 90% of the paint to the vehicle, in other words, the over spray is very minimal. There are a bunch of manufacturers for these kind of units. It's great because fir $800 you don't need a big shop compressor and expensive gun to spray your own car at home. These units make it easy for anyone to spray your own car and get a great finish

Re: 56 shop truck build
Yep, one color, always makes one feel like things are happening.
Looking good. Kim, I surprised you didn't mention it looks like the truck was going to slide off the concrete as you mentioned about the shelves some time back. lol. Dubie, I don't think I read what your plans are for the finish? |

Re: 56 shop truck build
Once the entire truck is in black, we will do some body filler work but leave some of the rough character on this body. Then the diamond blue metallic will go over top of the black Ned then we will patina the finish and do some aged pinstriping on it
