Looks good. Was that base clear or single stage paint.

krue · 05-08-2007, 11:07 PM

Be easier to tell if it was outside. Those reflections are messing me up.

centsless · 05-08-2007, 11:10 PM

Looks nice to me!!

RACINJASON22 · 05-08-2007, 11:20 PM

I think it looks awesome! We can see alot of whats in your garage by the reflections in the paint it's so nice. It does play he!! on the eyes though

I will give it a 10 for effort and apperance! Keep up the GR8 work. Can't wait to see it out side and complete but I'm sure you are thinking the same thing too!

VERY VERY NICE! RJ22

droppedgmc · 05-09-2007, 03:27 AM

^^^what everybody else has said...looks great!!

**Palf70Step** · 05-09-2007, 05:47 AM

Nice work. She looks good. Makes me wonder what my truck will look like as shiney again someday?

19673ontree · 05-09-2007, 06:46 AM

it was dark out when I got to this point last night so I just snapped a few shot's and yea it reflect's but it should look better in the daylight , I will take a few shot's outside first chance I get , and it is base coat clear coat paint 4 coat's of base minus one sanded off with 1000 grit and 4 coat's of clear minus 2 sanded off with 600 1000 then 2000 grit , let me just say that I did a LOT OF BODYWORK on this truck to get it to here , I am tired whewww !

70c10 · 05-09-2007, 06:57 AM

Paint looks great!. Hold that camera steady when pressing the button

piecesparts · 05-09-2007, 07:55 AM

I take it you approached this with the standard color sanding and then buff with a polishing compound and finish up with a glazing compound. If there are still spots that you don't like, you can go back to the polishing compound or the 2500 grit color sand paper. Paint is forgiving, your friends are NOT.

3/4tonterror · 05-09-2007, 10:42 AM

it looks really black.

longhorn70gmc · 05-09-2007, 10:51 AM

I like the white highlighting it. Looks very nice. Good Job!!!

drewmangoo · 05-09-2007, 10:59 AM

Paint looks really nice, I like the white grill and headlights.

Spanky_Pete · 05-09-2007, 03:56 PM

Excellent, looks exactly how I envision my '67 someday, only in red.

JAKES 68GMC · 05-09-2007, 04:42 PM

looks good, better than my paint.

retselgerg · 05-09-2007, 05:23 PM

Nice

SacramentoJoe · 05-09-2007, 05:33 PM

Looks Beeeeyooooteeefull! Painting always amazes me. Bet you'll treat your truck differently now. Before I painted, I used to park my old truck next to cars and I'm sure the owners were fearful and looked for door dings. Now I check for them on my old truck.

I like the way your '67 is shaping up, and I love those hubcaps!

mnunn454 · 05-09-2007, 09:11 PM

So shiny it's scary even. Best I've seen in a while.

WinDancer · 05-09-2007, 09:28 PM

Great job! I love that formal tux look- best combo possible, as long as I don't have to wash it

Trey` · 05-09-2007, 09:37 PM

I agree looks great as all fresh black paint jobs do, they sure are fun to keep looking that way, great choice with the white.
