Last look at my 69 SWB in its multi coloredness - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1LoC10 · 07-20-2010, 01:45 PM

Well getting tired of how the old truck looks, so I snapped a few pics before I start sanding it all down and priming the whole truck one color...

Longhorn Man · 07-20-2010, 11:06 PM

its such a shame... that thing was pretty when you got it a couple years ago

CJ Loeffelholz · 07-20-2010, 11:19 PM

It still looks pretty to me.

**leddzepp** · 07-20-2010, 11:25 PM

Truck looks nice and straight, good fender/door gaps. It will look sweet once it is painted.

mcbassin · 07-21-2010, 12:34 AM

Very Nice! Can't wait to see it painted. My favorite model too.

QKENUF4U · 07-21-2010, 02:00 AM

dont feel bad.. that would drive me crazy looking like that.. ive seen some patina trucks on here that look great but ur trucks a hot mess..... primer and hugger orange would be on my ticket.....

yeah it was... I wish I had the contact info from the guy when I bought it... I only had it a few months when most of the paint blew off.. It came off like rubber, I could grab a piece at the door handle and drag it all the way to the bottom of the door... Was fun trying to rip off the biggest piece..lol

*Shane* · 07-21-2010, 08:47 AM

those wheels would look bad-a$$ polished out ... wouldn't take more than about $20 in materials and a few hours of your spare time

oldblue1968chevy · 07-21-2010, 10:04 AM

what color we paintin it? never seen pics of your truck before post some previous pics up

polish the wheels!

1LoC10 · 07-21-2010, 10:52 AM

Not sure yet, my first thought was just black primer..... but maybe something different than the norm...
heres some older pics of how it use to look

1LoC10 · 07-22-2010, 09:42 AM

Just started on it today....got some sanding done so far... still tons more to go. lol
guess its not much to compare, just realized the other pics were the pass side.. geez

Sammy · 07-22-2010, 09:49 AM

And just think if you media blasted it, in about two to three hrs you could be masking the windows getting ready for paint. Sure saves elbows n wrists.

1LoC10 · 07-22-2010, 10:05 AM

you aint lying man... would be easier.. there is some clean metal under there somewhere..lol

mcbassin · 07-22-2010, 11:08 AM

Looking Good Bobby! Since your going to the bare metal, are you using a self etching epoxy primer? Whats the plan for paint? I'm interested.

**71blksuper4x4** · 07-22-2010, 11:08 AM

Bobby, I would just sand it down and clear coat it! That would look slick with the machined look to it.

On a more serious note, good luck with the sanding (everyone's favorite part of painting a vehicle). Sorry to hear about the bad luck with the old paint on her. Trevor

1LoC10 · 07-22-2010, 11:13 AM

thanks... yeah self etching primer will go first, and im thinking of trying some HotRodFlatz

not sure what color yet, maybe stay with a blue...

oldblue1968chevy · 07-22-2010, 04:49 PM

It's not that bad.

**Dieselwrencher** · 07-22-2010, 05:59 PM

A DA sander is what I usually use. Or a mud hog.

oldblue1968chevy · 07-23-2010, 11:16 AM

lol i thought u supposed to use a DA for that stuff not a dern grinder

1LoC10 · 11-22-2010, 05:24 PM

I forgot about this thread... i took a bit of a turn on this and decided to try some wheather/patina look to it again......hell if it dont turn out good, ill start over... heres how it looks so far

**Dieselwrencher** · 11-22-2010, 08:45 PM

Hmm, IDK what to think. If you like it, rock it!

50bomb · 11-22-2010, 09:27 PM

I would just primer it all grey for now..Then paint it later. When you decide on a color. Or use that hotrodflatz would be cool. Dark blue.

I am like you Iono where to start on a paint. But luckily I still got the Og paint on my truck.

1LoC10 · 11-22-2010, 10:11 PM

That is gray primer, it just looks shinny cuz it was just painted right before the pic
