1970 K10 Shortbed Survivor
This has been an absolute pleasure to work on and revive to its original glory. Son of the original owner used a brush and house paint on the exterior and black rattle can spray paint on the dash and passenger door.

More hours and elbow grease than I’d like to admit to with grey Scotchbright pads, acetone, and denatured alcohol got the inside to what you see now. Grey Scotchbright, acetone, denatured alcohol, CLR steel wool, lots of water and wax got the exterior to what you seen now.

Grey Scotchbright to just scuff the sheen / outer layer of the black paint. Then use Acetone to aggressively remove the black paint. Once you are almost all the way through the black paint stop and switch to denatured alcohol to slow the removal process. This way you don’t remove the paint underneath that you are trying to preserve.
