I Rattle can paint my 72! :eek: :eek: - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72c20customcamper · 11-24-2020, 01:57 PM

Think it came out well . Going on my pumpkin pie Thanksgiving

72c20customcamper · 11-24-2020, 02:01 PM

And back together. I’m going to have to touch up the hood came out a little rough. I even did the seat inserts white like my truck

**truckster** · 11-24-2020, 02:33 PM

Wow, that really looks good.

What type of paint did you use and what color is the yellow? I wanted to use the same paint on my Blazer model as I'm using on my actual Blazer (GM calls it dark yellow), but I've been told it will melt the plastic.

1976gmc20 · 11-24-2020, 03:05 PM

Something's wrong with that paint!

You shrunk your truck

Custom 68 · 11-24-2020, 03:09 PM

you even raised the bed floor. Excellent job. nice color combo.

That's the way it came, wanted the colors to match my 72

Redneck Rydes · 11-25-2020, 10:20 AM

I am thinking this is a way cheaper way to have a great looking C10,excellent job

72c20customcamper · 11-25-2020, 10:48 AM

Thinking I may put a wood bed in it

blazer2007 · 11-25-2020, 11:39 AM

Not a kit . Bought it at Walmart it's a die cast I just disassembled and repainted. Brand name Jada Just Trucks . Just looked at the box made in Vietnam

**Boog** · 11-25-2020, 12:45 PM

Are there any 67-72 Chevy die cast trucks available with "normal" sized custom wheels ? I've looked but as yet have not seen any.

Andy4639 · 11-25-2020, 06:07 PM

Good job on the paint job sir!

Here is a whole thread on them. Mostly mine though!

Nice . I couldn't find a yellow/ white one they only had a flat black one or the black and red.

Looks like they stopped making the yellow /white trucks a while ago

**Boog** · 11-26-2020, 01:24 AM

Summit racing sells collectible diecast cars now. Of interest are several 1/18 scale chevy trucks. I know Andy will like the '67 C30 ramp truck.

**special-K** · 11-26-2020, 07:58 AM

Can't be putting a truck with someone else's colors on your pumpkin pie. That came out great. Did you jam the doors?

If you want to go smaller, Jada made a 1/64 scale with your paint job. You need to getcha one of those. Then you can go lighter on the whipped cream

That's what I came to realize. Too broke to work on my '67 with truck building still in my blood, I resorted to frame-ups on more 'downsized' trucks.

Lots of repainted diecast in this thread and other threads in the "Our Stuff In Scale" forum

Got the jams as best as I could

**special-K** · 11-26-2020, 10:53 AM

I saw that the doors opened so wondered about that. I never saw a jam spray can. Unless that's the model paint cans

Andy4639 · 11-26-2020, 10:47 PM

Here is my 1/64th truck.

Hey, Red Writer, those are some cool trucks and pics!

**3757chevy** · 11-27-2020, 02:50 AM

Hey...I have a few of those. Ochre and white Chevys, that is. Yours looks better...maybe it's the whipcream?

**special-K** · 11-27-2020, 01:15 PM
