If all goes well on Sunday with the paint I will probably take a week off from the truck before I start putting it back together.

First items that will get done is the Raptor liner in the bed and hang the front clip on. Im going to wait on the doors until my buddy bucket seats are done and the new wiring harness is installed. I think it will give me a little more room to work while wrapping up the wiring.

**landarts** · 09-26-2011, 09:58 AM

Got Paint! Was able to get the inside of the cab shot with base/clear Sunday.

The color is 1969 Le Mans Blue - S.W. crossfire with S.W. clear , shot with devilbliss gun.

Did the final once over with guide coat, used the S.W. 2k sealer, then 3 coats of color and 2 coats of clear.

Thanks for all the props. Its really nice to see color on the truck. It seemed as though that day would never come when I was sanding, sanding and more sanding.

**landarts** · 09-28-2011, 01:23 PM

Moving on to the painting the smalls. Like the glove box, tilt column, base for buddy buckets, steering wheel and door hinges. Will post pictures after they are done.

Using all S.W. Crossfire products

Hey I was just in Idaho last month. I was visiting family there that lives in Star. Very nice area. I went to a couple junk yards in Nampa to see if I could find parts for my 72, but had no luck.

**landarts** · 09-28-2011, 08:31 PM

Did you make it over to jalopy jungle? I go there on a regular basis about every two weeks. The always seem to have a few of our trucks for pulling parts off of. I actually moved from Eagle to Star as couple of months ago. Next time you are in the area let me know. We can get together with a few others from the site that I know.

**landarts** · 09-29-2011, 12:37 PM

Here a few more pictures from yesterdays painting of some of the small interior objects.

1 coat of sealer
3 coats of base
2 coats of clear
A bunch of satisfaction - Priceless

VA72C10 · 09-29-2011, 02:16 PM

Those look great in the sun!!!!

**landarts** · 09-30-2011, 06:33 PM

Finished the last prepping of the back of the cab, front fenders, grill and bed today. Will final prep the doors in the morning and get the shop cleaned up to finish the paint Sunday morning. FINALLY!

XxCHEVYMANxX · 09-30-2011, 08:19 PM

Your knockin it out, can't wait to see it when your done.

**landarts** · 09-30-2011, 09:49 PM

I will post completed paint job Sunday. But first a little more prepping. FINALLY getting it done.

**landarts** · 10-03-2011, 09:44 PM

Here are few pictures before the paint storm happens. We will be shooting the doors, front fenders, grill and hood this go around.

**landarts** · 10-03-2011, 09:50 PM

After everything has dried for 24 hours in the garage I moved items out to the back yard. Put most of it in the back of my 72 4x4 for safe keeping until I finish the cab and dog house Tuesday and Wednesday.

After that I will have a few little items that will need the LeMans Blue like:

bolts for hinges
hinges for the door
cowl
tailgate and tailgate hardware

This was the first time I ever shoot paint in a garage, everything turned out great. Got one little nat bug in the hood clear, should not be a problem buffing out.

Here are few of the parts painted.

**landarts** · 10-03-2011, 09:52 PM

For Tuesday I will be completely cleaning the garage floor again, getting rid of the paint over spray. Spraying down all the plastic for any dust or dead bugs. Then get the cab taped off for painting.

XxCHEVYMANxX · 10-03-2011, 10:55 PM

lookin good!! keep up the good work.

cokeb · 10-04-2011, 12:25 AM

looks awesome man! Do you think big "T" will have time for the Valdez ? Will have to make the journey west sometime this week to see your handy work.

craig

**landarts** · 10-04-2011, 10:34 AM

I would imagine so, he seems to thrive in the moment cokeb. We will be shooting the cab, then the bed separately. After assembly we will have a little color sanding to do and buffing.
