Looks Good.
I Like Green.
You really want to see if your paint guy will let you know what that little extra brilliance is.
For the reason of a Touch up or Repaint of a panel in the Future.
He may not let you know but it's worth a try.
Hopefully he is around next time you need paint.

My Experience with Clear is minimal.
As long as it is compatible with base coat is always a good thing.

One piece at a time.

529 Med. Blue-green poly.
I got it as a mutt. I further muttified it with a new engine, transmission, transfer case, and different (straighter) bed. It was a solid color 1970 built 529 cab and bed on a 1971 K10 chassis that some cowboy in the state of Wyoming cobbled together in the 80s. I painted the cab roof white. I procured a paintable front bumper off the '72 Blazer that donated the tranny and transfer case. The rear paintable bumper came from too much stuff when my 16 year old was around 4. da-burb sold me the pretty darn straight tailgate out of his stash about 15 years ago. The build sheet tells me the cowboy that assembled it before I got it used 1968 golden anniversary interior. That is all I can think of off the top of my head.

Quite a tale, worth the wait I’d say, good looking truck.

Orchid Green, its a 2008 Chrysler Color. Shot over black primer to make the green pop....

71meangreenc10 · 07-29-2018, 11:17 PM

518 Medium Green.

Even said it on the can when I picked up the paint. May have changed in 72, but this is a 71.

My 72 Open Roads is a Green, got to get the paint code. It will be the same color when I repaint it.

dave`12 · 07-30-2018, 01:25 AM

I think it is the original colors, but not entirely sure.

Auroch · 07-31-2018, 01:34 PM

Hey guys, should I patch the antenna hole or restore it? Not sure if there's a reco for that.

Auroch · 07-31-2018, 10:40 PM

It’s happening. Today she was taken to the shop. Supposedly will be ready in a week and a half.

**Getter-Done** · 07-31-2018, 10:58 PM

So have you made a Choice of green ??
About the antenna hole if it is on the drivers side IMO I would plug it.
I am moving mine too the passengers side.

Yes sir! Going with 504 yellow green and 521 white top. Will only be adding bottom moulding.

Yeah.. I might just kill the antenna completely. We’ll see.

Back from paint? "Paint jail" has a reputation for a reason. I got a great price on the total repaint of my '68 Buick California GS, but the guy had it for 6 months.
