Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Undercoating comes in an aersol can, stick the nozzle in there, and apply a nice even coat. Wipe off any overspray before it dries. Did my hood and fenders like this a while back.

This is my first post (I'm new here, so hello...). I just had to say, I've been reading this entire thread from the start- what an amazing project! Your attention to detail is astonishing.
Keep up the good work, waiting to witness the finished product... Last edited by RD71; 12-04-2010 at 10:14 AM. |

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
if he does.....I think something along the lines of how the '77 trim was painted...would be a great "accent" to that paint color.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
Not sure how it would look but if you are going with Tan interior, I would match that color on the stripe instead of body color.

Re: Finally "Silvers" build thread!! ('78 swb 2wd silverado)
sorry guys! this time of year the priorities change around for me... work, family, and more work. i went crazy on my truck credit card this last summer and im paying it down. almost flush again
![]() ![]() btw, i did get something VERY cool from Amy today for my birthday.... a silverado key chain with custom engraving on the back that says "in loving memory of Ted Smiley". (my grandpa) it actually brought tears to my eyes. i cant believe she remembered thats what im having painted on the tailgate. i'll get the pics of it up soon.
