Thanks. I painted it the factory Red that looks very orange in some lights. Yes this is a very cool thread as I love to see what people do on their own.

another one myself and a friend did
candied flake bottom half with candy flames

it goes crazy in the light...people really trip on this van. Its been across the country a number of times hawking Intro Wheels at many Goodguys shows.

justplainray · 09-27-2011, 04:39 PM

Well after some 300 hundred man hours, I can say; I am almost done.

All I have to do is:

wet sand everything

get parts from chrome shop

install chrome parts

pick-up tailgate from pinstripper

install tailgate

have pinstripper strip cab and fenders

do something else that I can't remember right now

etc

etc

etc

When you are really into it....are you ever really done?

Not bad at all OJ1988, looks great from here !!!! .......I wouldn't even think about posting pics of my first paint job.....(it looked like it was painted with a broom and latex paint)

hockeyjerk1 · 10-10-2011, 11:21 PM

I did this in my garage with 2 HF guns, 1 for primer/color, the other for clear. I used a high build primer under cheap PPG Omni. Total cost was under $500. I bought pro-grade sandpaper that out performs any thing at HD. I've still got to get the trim installed.

BLUIDVL · 10-12-2011, 12:53 AM

Couple of pics of a 69 GMC cab i squirted. Colour is Quazar blue.

CowboyProtectionUnit · 10-12-2011, 04:30 AM

inspirational! I'll definitely be visitin this thread for tips and pick me ups when I get to this point in both of my projects

dfwright · 10-12-2011, 08:57 AM

Wow! I would not have thought a garage paint job could be done an turn out so nicely. Very talented painters -- or perhaps very talented sanders/buffers. I am encouraged to give this a try myself when I get to that point.

**CMACDONALD1** · 10-17-2011, 04:35 PM

I've posted on this thread once already but I thought I would post up the finished product.

jchav62 · 10-17-2011, 05:28 PM

My brother and I (mostly him) did the paint and body on my '62. Painted in the backyard.
