Painting the 54
I am now three weeks into the painting process on my 54. The first two weeks were final prep and that was after all I had done at my place. A friends is letting me use his paint booth to lay the color and it certainly helps.
Here are some pics of the efforts for Fri-Sun. http://www.picturetrail.com/gallery/...38&uid=2902753 |

Re: Painting the 54
Wow! nice looking truck. For a second, I couldn't tell if it was bare metal or paint. Looks great.

Re: Painting the 54
Sweet looking truck. Nice to see another '54. Keep up the good work. BTW, what it is that rear bumper from? Just curious. Daniel U

Re: Painting the 54
Thanks for the feedback. I am happy with it so far but there are a few gotchas that I have fix. One is where I stuck my rear on to tacky clear on the cab when I was trying to clear another piece.
The rear bumper is from a 1992 vintage S-10. I found it at a swap meet for $5.00. Some from another site have criticized its appearance but I think it fits the truck well. |
