Trucks gone for paint! - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 03:03 PM

Well its been a long winter of body work lol but the truck is 100% rust free! I finally got the truck off to paint! The paint guys really seem to know their stuff, they said they'd get it straight as a dime and line up all my panels! hopefully it turns out nice. Thanks to everyone who answered my many questions, I'm sure there are going to be many more. I just picked up a strong running 350 for it and cant wait to get it on the road for crusin this summer.
here are some pics:

it took it in yesterday (wednesday) and they said they will start today and it will be done next wed. So there only working on it for 3 days total, which is pretty quick!

sumran · 03-24-2011, 04:33 PM

I just took mine in on Monday. Funny thing is, after working on it every day for a while, it seems strange not not to have it on the driveway. Luckily, I have lots of other projects I ignored that are way behind now.

You are going to get yours back a lot sooner than I will.

a 7" single stack on the duramax eh? hope thats not just for looks!

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 04:52 PM

Haha stacks real! that's my buddies baby. He's got it chipped and the exhaust is straight piped out the bed. Pretty gnarly truck lol and im pretty sure the stack is 8"!

I know what you mean sumran! I'm bored without the truck in the garage!

WOW... mine went in on Jan 1st and came out Dec 24th in 2000

thats 11 months and 3 weeks ... that is why it is called Paint Prison.

My painter quoted me 2 months

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 06:27 PM

Whoa hope mine doesnt take that long!! Why did they have yours for a year??

well, paint shops take on the bread & butter jobs, (fender Benders) that they can whip out in a week and get a good chunk of $$$ from the Insurance Companies... so mine took a back seat to those Jobs, and he dicked around on top of that, instead of painting my truck...
I hear that happens a lot... the fender benders taking front stage and jobs like mine being put on the back burner...

look up paint prison on google lol

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 07:20 PM

Damn I'd loose it lol

jrcaprai · 03-24-2011, 09:07 PM

I did a few times

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 09:08 PM

were/are you happy with the results?

jrcaprai · 03-24-2011, 10:43 PM

Very much so, it was gorgeous... I think it looks dated now

Telecasterjoey · 03-24-2011, 10:59 PM

hope to have some pics to post in the next couple of days on mine. been lurking here for some time. My painter said the same stuff " we are going to get all the guys on it right away, and you should have it back in a week to 10 day max". That use 5 weeks ago, but i actually just came from there and we laid out the stripe line that will divide the two main colors.

Telecasterjoey · 03-25-2011, 08:57 PM

Thats what ultimately happens when you go with a "trendy" paint job. Whats hot today is old next year. Besides, it was painted in 2k, I would think anything besides a solid primary color will look dated after 10+ years.
