Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I like the two tone, you'll be happy you did what you really wanted to in the first place.
I always liked hearing how people approached a paint job when I was learning how to paint, so I'll give you some unsolicited advice... I'm sure everyone will have their own way of doing things, but I've watched several painters, and have painted a couple things myself, and I've always been told to paint the color that covers the least amount of area first (less masking to do later). So I'd paint the white first.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
I like the two-tone idea a lot. I was heavily considering a white roof until I saw the pic of my grandpas truck and it didn't have one. The roof and grill will be subtle enough and make it stand out from the other red ones.
Don't blame you on the LS. I've wanted a BB C10 since I was 15 but afraid I won't drive it as much. LS seems to be the best of both worlds. Unless you are worried about weight I wouldn't spend the premium for a LS1. Get 6.0 and swap a LS6 intake. They can be found pretty cheap.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Thanks Mike, hopefully the paint turns out how I envision it. I know you have done a few LS swaps so I might need to bend your ear a little when the time comes. I know I'll definitely need the help

You could spray the color and only part of the clear you're wanting on the whole truck (2 coats instead of 4, or whatever), then after both colors are on, re-clear the whole truck with the rest of the coats you want. 2 more coats to get to 4 total, or 4 more to get 6, etc. Or, just spray the base coat of both, then clear it all. This is the way I would do it, but I'm still a newb too. If you miss the re-spray window, let it cure whatever is recommended by the paint company, scuff it and clear it. Ask some other guys what they recommend as well. Someone with more experience can probably give you more detailed info on the subject. I'm sure you'll do fine when you get to that point.

Re: Project "What was I Thinking" 68 SWB
Keith paint both the base coats then clear the whole thing. Like stated before you will create a ton of extra work by trying to clear each color independently!
Oh and if you do go LS feel free to him me up with any questions.

Well it's been a busy couple of weeks working on the cab. Haven't posted any pictures because it just would have shown sanding dust
