I've been contemplating this thread for a while but didn't want to get started and not finish. Decided to commit (to the thread, not the build). Here goes:

Thanks Hoppedup! Paint is going to be Satin Red with a black roof. Looking for some stock 6-lugs and baby moons as well if anyone has a line on some.

I'm in the process of spraying mine on poly primer too. Same color as yours. Eventually mine will be satin white with gold flake roof

I want to say its called Dorado Red, but don't quote me. I will find out exactly what it is and where it was bought and let you know. I'm not totally convinced its satin at this point, but we will see.

Welcome to the forum

I agree, that red does look good.

Is your truck currently running?

Re: 65 Long Bed Chevy Build
that red looks really nice.
did it gloss up in the last photos or just different lighting?
i'm partial to that color... will you add a white top and stripes?

Thanks guys. It GLOSSED up alright - It's about as satin as a Fire Truck! Not what I had initially planned but it looks great! The roof is black and the "V" on the hood is black. White is over done and Red & Black are my colors. Windows are going in today and just put the bed back on. I leave for England this time next week so I'm hoping to get it out on the road before then.

Thanks Clem! It should have been on the road yesterday but I ordered the wrong windshield rubber. Got that sorted out and hoping to take it for a drive tonight before I head to England tomorrow. I'll post pics if its done.
