Re: 1972 gmc 2wd highlander with original paint

I also sandblasted my core support. I hate doing that, it makes the biggest mess, and gets sand everywhere!!

Then here is a picture of my brother masking off my new gauge cluster so we can get ready to paint it.

Then we sprayed the paint down, and it wasn't even close! I took the glove box to NAPA before we touched the original paint to find a paint that was close to the original color, and found a color that was really close, but either they messed up while mixing it, or the paint chip was a MILE off!

Here is a picture of the color out of the can (left) and the color we finished with after mixed some orange and black into the original color (right), for sure a mile off.
