Re: Our 1965 C10 Project

I thought that since the top was white I would be able to get away with not painting it but it looked bad to me after the bottom was painted so sanded it and put a fresh coat of Flat White paint on the roof. The hardest part to me was getting the line from white to blue good and straight.

Here is the photos from yesterdays work. My daughter even got in on the help.....my son was too busy riding four wheelers with his friend. I had fun working with her though.











Ahhh.....that fresh white sure does look better to me.








I have to say...... I know that I am not a painter and someone could walk up to this truck and nit pick its paint job to death but it has been a great learning experience for me and I get great satisfaction in knowing that the kids have been getting in on it and the fact that we are doing it ourselves.

It has been fun spending some time with the kids on this project and also the father in law. Oh yeah.......and I don't have a ton of money tied up in the paint. Just a lot of time and fun.
