Before/ During 1968 longbed - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I just wanted to brag a little. This truck has been my daily driver for 13 years. I have been working hard on getting it painted. I am using Duponts Nason brand single stage. GM 1964-1969 light blue paint code 507. I have been doing the body work for nearly a year. Used several parts from a parts truck as well new aftermarket fenders from Tri-Plus. This the trucks fifth paint job. Third paint job for me. I still have several things to paint like the grill, windshield posts, and the top of the doors. I have some orange peel and a few sags, so a color sand and buff job will be next on the list of things to do.

Thanks for listening,

Keith

Very nice job, the truck looks great. How much did the paint end up costing you ? What size compressor did you use to do it? What kind of gun? I wouldn't mind copying that color scheme on my blazer.
