Re: 1969 Short Wide
I bought a pint base coat sample to test and to see what my paint is going to look like. I shot the front side of the front bed panel mostly because it doesn't show. So if I failed it's an easy fix.
Goal of color before 2014 met... basecoat cleared |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Thanks Rex. I just got so tired of looking at primered panels, I had to throw some paint on there.
Thanks. I can't afford speeding tickets anymore. I got one a few months ago that took $342 away from my build fund |

Try 57 in a 35.= 22 over.... coasting down hill. Just an FYI if you're ever out my way again, most roads don't have speed limit signs and it's 35 MPH everywhere unless it's marked. Basically the whole county is a speed trap |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
If you just keep experimenting with a panel at a time....it will ALL be painted soon..very very soon!!!
nice color bro...keep it up, slow and steady is the best way. Most frustrating but the best way. |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
I really like the PPG basecoat paint and the Imron Clear coat. I'm no expert at color sanding and buffing (still need to buy the right compound and tools), but I really like the depth. Kinda hard to tell with my crappy camera.
color sanded to 2000 grit buffed |

Re: 1969 Short Wide
Now that's RED! Love it man. I'm eyeballin your build here to help map out my paint job. You've obviously got a bunch more time banked doing this kind of thing, so if I can get half the results I'll be stoked! Please keep updating with ALL the details.
Speed tickets - UGH!! Did you see my other thread "Project Stupid Move"? Chip off the old block I tell ya.

Re: 1969 Short Wide
When do you think you are going to paint the rest of the truck? Are you going to paint it in sections at a time or paint all the areas you can't reach and then put the truck together and paint it as one?

Re: 1969 Short Wide

here's what I have in mind: 1.) finish bodywork on all interior bed panels / paint the inside surfaces and floor 2.) assemble the bed/ seam seal check tailgate fitment 3.) mount the cab on the frame/ mount doors make sure my gaps are still good 4.) mount core support/ fenders fit my fender gaps 5.) mount hood check gaps 6.) mount bed check fitment to cab 7.) disassemble 8.) finish bodywork on cab and doors 9.) finish bodywork on fenders/ hood - paint inside surfaces 10.) finish bodywork on outside of bed 11.) paint all exterior surfaces at the same time/temp 12.) reassemble. I'm sure I missed a few steps. This is my first time doing one to this extreme. |
