I'm so sorry to hear about the loss of your son. I Just wanted to say this thread has touched my heart, the kindness of others to help out is so amazing.
I would like to help out myself, please let me know the color code you decide on painting the truck and I'll furnish all the PPG paint and clear. Just let me know.......Thanks

I have been advised that when painting the truck we should stay within one brand. Does PPG make a high build primer and hardener, or can you get Sherwin Williams' 'Martin Senour'? We have a local source for this brand of primer, who may donate it, but want to keep within one brand.

PPG makes just about anything you need for painting a car. IMO you cant go wrong with PPG.


SPECTRACRON® 315 High Build Primer Surfacer from PPG is the one favored by the guy I have doing my body work. Granted I havent painted the truck yet, but the repair he did looks fantastic.




I know this one is not specifically for automobiles but it does work great for that. But there are others specifically for auto paint. This one is for industrial uses and is just one that he works well with. Havent had any problems with automotive applications to date.


here is a before and after of the repair using the above primer

after....

I would use all PPG primer since that is the brand of paint and clear that 198plus offered to donate. PPG makes several different primers.

Hey 198plus, where can we look up PPG color selection? Thanks.

Hey Zane's Mom, just a little update for you. 1963c-10 is making a crayon impression of the glove box Chevrolet badge he has on his truck (same as the drawing we like above), scanning it, and emailing it to me. It should end up pretty much exactly the same size. I will send it to my guy, and ask him to send us the drawing of what he comes up with before cutting it. If he has a problem with the art work I have a close friend in the web design business, he will be able to do the art work. I also sent a PM to EVBuilder (he is about a half hour drive from me) to see if he would be willing to offer services of polishing the stainless steel emblem to a brilliant shine.

Hi 198plus. I have asked the instructors to have the students go by the local PPG dealer (Hi-Tec Auto Body Supply Company) to check out color selections so we can have some color codes for you early in the Fall. The school year ends next month here, and I dropped off primer and hardener at the school yesterday. Hopefully over the summer they can narrow down choices. Thanks!
