oh and my dog thought she could sneek in and drive off!

grayharville · 02-06-2011, 11:13 PM

Your tailgate has a bit of a dip in it! Mine had one too, until I finally found another for 40 bucks, then spent 3 days stripping 4 layers of paint off of it! It started off red, then went to primer, then hugger orange, then black, Then i stripped it and redid it satin black. It was alot of work but it was worth keepin original sheetmetal alive.. I dont like the chinese repop junk.

67chevy1series · 02-06-2011, 11:16 PM

the jap stuff does seem to be quite plasticy! and terrible i kinda like the gate i got that tail gate off of the same truck as my cab...there original to each other....it opens with one hand and is actually pretty sraight!except for the dent at the top which i can try to take out or i can cut out and replace

grayharville · 02-06-2011, 11:37 PM

I contemplated fixing the dip in my old one too, but then I found a straight one so I decided to use it. I have my old one lying around so that I still have all of the original sheetmetal for my truck.

How are you liking the satin black? Im thinking of repainting my truck, either red with a white roof, solid red, or solid white.. or keeping the satin... i dunno

67chevy1series · 02-06-2011, 11:44 PM

well the paint on my truck is all flat black i just keep good care of it.... but i will try to make mine all semi gloss like your truck!

grayharville · 02-06-2011, 11:58 PM

Hey man if you wanna go with the semi gloss like mine, get some valspar brand tractor paint from TSC (there might not be a TSC in cali, idk?) and paint it with that. 33 bucks a gallon, sprays great, I didnt have a single run or anything. I just need to figure out how to get the hard water spots off of mine from it getting rained on... I have no idea how though

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:02 AM

you mean tractor supply co. right yes we have one right here in a****er! so water spots are easy to have but hard to take off?

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:10 AM

Yeah tractor supply, Thats where I got my paint at, Its called Low Gloss Black. I thinned it with xylene in a 2:1 ratio ( 2 parts paint 1 part thinner)

And yeah it got rained on and got those little water spots all over it ya know? And its not like I can wax the damn thing cuz itll mess with the paint right?

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:15 AM

um it shouldnt mess up the paint...at least i dont think?

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:20 AM

I was thinking that if i waxed it it would make it shiny... hell i dont know lol I guess ill just have to try it

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:23 AM

yes just get some nice wax and give it a nice wax job keep rubbing it down....and make sure it is a qaulity job only then will you see ! that sounds like somthin yoda would say!

grayharville · 02-07-2011, 12:43 AM

Haha as soon as the weather gets nicer ill try it out. theres really no point in doing it during the rainy season, if I wash it right now itll look trashed by tomorow morning.

67chevy1series · 02-07-2011, 12:55 AM

yes very true i am gonna go see if they can photoshop the rims red on my truck......

WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK THAT PICTURE ON THE FIRST PAGE THAT THEY PHOTOSHOPPED BLACK ONLY WITH RED RIMS....
