Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb

I got all of the truck sanded this weekend and is all ready for paint. Hopefuly in the next 2 weekends we will paint it. Today we chose the interior colors. Im going with a medium grey and imperial blue and charcoal carpet and grey dash. Sending the seat off to be redone hopefully this week.

Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb

tomorow morning going back to the shop to lay out some lines and spray the blue. blue on top silver in the middle blue on bottom. there will will be a silver/blue pinstripe spliting the 2 colors.

Damn, that's some professional work! Painting the underside of the hood, fine details under the hood and the way the interior cabin was sprayed. Is the bodyshop friends of yours bc that is PROFESSIONAL! How did u sand down the meatl carb cover and what kind of paint did u use?

im not sure on the gun it was my dads friend that jumped in and painted the truck. but its a pretty nice gun he is also a bodyman at the shop who drove the wrecker and use to paint. my dad was plannin to paint it but.. owell! he did a awesome job layin it down. no runs and not much trash in it hardly!

haha ya him being a bodyman gave us alot of benefits on sandpaper, bondo, USING THE BOOTH! etc. But he has a 64 1/2 mustang coupe 289 we are going to finnish restoring after the truck.. It is in the background on some pictures holding all the truck parts. :devil:

Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb

Clean and simple. I like it good job!

Re: 1985 chevy c10 swb

Looks good man! That is an awesome color combo. Can't wait to see the interior.
