Re: 72 GMC K2500, short bed build

Big time project creep here.
Im more torn down than expected and i need paint.
Decided to change the color, full interior paint included.
My Color choices were in order
Hugger orange and white
Grapefruit yellow and white
Hawaiian blue and white.
Decided against yellow, i dont think it has very wide appeal despite having almost a full quart on hand.
Orange was $500 a gallon
Blue $300
I ordered the blue. Pick it up tomorrow.
My short bed big block will be blue so doing this one blue will give good experience on coverage, flow, etc. and any extra paint will be used on that truck.
Also i feel blue and white is the best color and has very wide appeal.

For the medium green lovers....i asked my wife to pick up the paint tomorrow, mentioned I'm painting it blue. She was floored, she loves the green!

As you can see i have the firewall stripped and the rear window out. Surprisingly the rear window pinchweld has no issues.
