Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

The color I'm going with is Hot Rod Flatz' Hugger orange

http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...7/IMG_0382.jpg

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Well, the first two coats, but its color! this type of paint is better lay down all at once so they are only putting down the 1st 2 coats then when all of the parts are ready for paint, they will all be shot at the same time so they all match. anyway, I'm also going with white on the roof and below the bottom trim. here are some pics from yesterday

in the booth:

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

whew buddy the hugger orange really pops on those curves all that metal work takes me back to last year with my dad bustin his butt to fix all the stock metal let's just say she's a bondo bucket ;D

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Hey Cam, real happy for you dude, truck looks great. Can't wait to see the rest.....Jim

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project

Thanks

Thanks Jim! trust me, i can't wait either:lol: The bed should be going for some work in a couple weeks, in the meantime ill get the truck home and start working on some other things! :uhmk:

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Cam this must be very expensive having someone else do the body and paint work. You do have 1 rad looking truck

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

How does the flat orange look in the light?

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project
 

Thanks man! yeah it does get expensive but it will look a lot better than if i did it.
