Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Nice I went from a 96' cr80 straight to an 00 rm 250. After that had a crf 450 then back to the rm. Broke down and bought a brand new 07 yzf450 and still enjoyed that rm 250 the most in the trails. I'm right there with you two stroke all the way

1-1/2 Gallons Butternut Yellow 1 quart White 1 Gallon clear coat And all the reducer / hardner jazz to go with. Does that seem reasonable? I know I'll need more clear ($75 / Gallon) but I can get that as needed. You think 1-1/2 gallons of the yellow will cover it? I'm doing the whole salame - underside of hood, firewall, etc... |
Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Very cool project. It took me a few days to get read through your build. Looks like solid plan. I'm subscribed.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Are the paint numbers ready to spray? If they are, you'll need a bit more. If it reduces 1:1, you're in good shape. You'll definitely need more clear. I used about 3 1/2 gal total for everything. 2gal putting 3 coats on the body.

That quote was for 1-1/2 gallons of paint plus the reducer. I'm not sure what the reduction is but I'll check. I asked the "kid" that was working there what he thought I'd need and that's where the 1-1/2 came from. I'm stoked!
About two hours wetsanding (P400) on the hood and I'm ALMOST done....whew! |

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
No need, loelco86@yahoo.com bc/cc covers nothing. You either want 400wet scratch or 320 da scratch to base over. Some of the superfine metallics call for 600. What you have is perfect. Always have something between your hand and the paper as a load spreader, or you'll dig finger grooves. The sheen you have there is perfect. I'd recommend after you buy your sauce, finish out and shoot your tailgate. Completely. You'll get the experience you need and if you screw up, it's just the tailgate, sand it down and try again. You can really be your own worst enemy at this point. Literally just relax and enjoy the experience. Looks great so far!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I'm sure it's been said but when do you think you'll get some color on it?

Pic of the Boy's 350 and my trusty ol' zuke! Dude's motor is basically done. Just needs to finish up his dizzy and fix up some accessories. He's sniffin around for a TH350 (and a damn job!) and we'll stab it in. |
Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
The discussion tonight is how to go about painting this thing. All along I've thought I'd paint all the bits separately then assemble. I got to thinking about how I'd paint one side of the hood then flip it over to paint the other side without overspray on the side I had done. Also, what about the door jambs and the hinges, bolts and stuff?? Would it be better to jamb it out, hang the panels then shoot the whole deal at once? Not even sure how I'd go about that! MAN I want to build the motor!!

Just jump in and go for it. We hung stuff all over the place from the rafters. I am on my 3rd try on my tailgate...grrr. Tailgate and cowl left and it is finished. For nuts and bolts get some cardboard and just screw them through. Shot both sides and you're done. I used chassis black on mine. DO IT!!!

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Wish I could help I've never used anything more then a rattle can. I'd love to be able to paint, once I get a shop I'd like to play around with it a bit

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
I generally do cut-ins (jambs and undersides) first, then shiny sides. This is also good practice. Then some general back masking, then shoot the parts that show. Get prepped, open a beer, crank up some Joe Walsh and have at it. I'm hotlinked on the phone, hit me up. Just relax. Remember What the Truefire guy says. "It's just paint. I can sand it off and try again." Remember, I'd freak with a Trans in my sink, and I'm a machinist by trade! It's all relative.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Also, if you're freaked out about orange peel, turn your air up. You did go get a gun mounted regulator, right? Must-have item. A little more air atomizes that heavy stuff better. Do that and move a tad faster, no problem.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Ah. If you're talking about the thing on the bottom of the handle, crank it open and ignore it. Control it all from the regulator. If its the knob on top by the cup, that's fan control. I usually kinda run on the high side of the middle, so you get kinda a wet ish stripe in the pattern. You're on the right track.

Re: My '67 Fleetside C10 renew
Yup, the adjuster at the handle. I believe it's just a flow control for the air and I've never used a gun that had that tweaker. I have had it choked off slightly so I'll give-er full whack and see if I can trim it out better that way. Thanks!!

Four intake valves later, the Subaru is out of the shop! Purrs like a kitten. The Boy found a diamond in the rough, scored a close ratio NV3500 at the pick-n-pull for $55!!! He'll be hard to beat.
