Re: 56 shop truck build
All sprayed. Now I just have to wait for it to flash off and we can see the satin finish

Re: 56 shop truck build
Now I'm looking forward to sanding some of it off. Get some patina on the go here. I'm going to wait a couple days before sanding it

Re: 56 shop truck build
Oh man, I'd just HAVE to clear coat that and polish the hell out of it! I LIKE that color.

Re: 56 shop truck build
Thanks guys, it really is a "pretty" blue. Once it;s in the sun, this has a crazy amount of metallic to it. We're going to start on the patina finish tomorrow night.

Re: 56 shop truck build
Hot Rod Flatz is a 30% satin single stage paint. You mix 4 parts of paint color with 1 part hardener and shoot it. It laid down exceptionally nice. Almost seems a shame to sand away some of it..............ALMOST

Re: 56 shop truck build
That's the plan. It took almost 60 years for the body to gain this much character, so I'm going to work with what was there
