What? No water on the floor?
We always wet down the floor the several hours prior to settle any dust already in the air, and keep more from becoming airborne....

You may have already said, but what color silver did you use?

Thanks Modges. It is argent silver. I am a rookie when it comes to painting so my skills are lacking Lol. My paint supplier helped me pick the color. This silver is a little easier to spray. The metallics lay down easier.

I sprayed the floor earlier and it already dried.

Good color to compliment the wheels

Eric15chevys · 04-02-2015, 09:31 PM

Man I like your truck. The silver looks great and so does that LS. I am originally from Conway, AR, but I am in the Army and live in Fayetteville, NC. I have a 62 that I drove in high school that I a building with a 5.3 and mild drop. I am dreading paint. I hate painting.

dwcardfan · 04-03-2015, 01:23 PM

Thanks guys for the compliments. And thank you for your service Eric. Good luck with your build.
