a little progress on the 69 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

ramey · 02-27-2011, 01:36 PM

started painting my 69 stepper today, im using krylon satin oxford blue paint from your local wally world. but had to stop for a while the wind is going crazy today and im wasting to much paint. i still got to do some sanding on the passenger side but i almost got the whole bed painted. still cant decide if i wanna paint the roof white or blue like the rest of the truck

Looks pretty good for a rattle can job. I've always wondered how many years you can get out of a rattle can spray job. It seems to me that the paint would be too thin to last very long - does anyone know?

ramey · 02-27-2011, 03:20 PM

i dont know how long it will hold up, i just finished the bed the wind died down for a min

RCbowtie69 · 02-27-2011, 03:20 PM

Hey that's lookin pretty good for rattle can. White or blue top? Man I dont' know. Maybe a darker blue? That's a nice looking set of wheel covers. Vette aren't they?

yep corvette spoke hubcaps, they were the first thing i wanted to put on my truck when i got it

dougo · 02-27-2011, 08:51 PM

Looks real good... first thing I noticed (aside from the nice rattle can job) is the vette caps.... '68, or '69 I believe. Love that look with those caps.... looking forward to more pics. Nice work.

kev0519 · 02-27-2011, 08:54 PM

ramey · 02-27-2011, 09:02 PM

I was gonna finish painting my stepper tomorrow including the interior but its gonna rain all day. every time im off it seems like it rains or something

gearys 5600 · 02-27-2011, 09:35 PM

Looks good.

zellway · 02-27-2011, 09:43 PM

About 8 years ago I got sick of the look of my truck at rattle shot it. It was nice for about 2 years in AZ might last a bit longer in a cooler place. I your truck looks good. Might try a spray can handle to save your finger tips.

Lookin' good!

Myself I think it would look good with a white top. Not a bright white but an off white or creamy white.

68bucket · 02-28-2011, 01:12 AM

I think the top looks good black. but, what do i know i want to paint mine black and lime green.

ramey · 02-28-2011, 03:34 PM

well the rain has held off so far today but the wind is bad. i painted part of the top blue and i finished the passenger side. i still might paint the top white. and the interior will have to wait til another day. ill try n post some pics later tonight

wldcat10 · 02-28-2011, 04:58 PM

Lookin' good, I would say white top for sure! How many cans have you used so far and how many coats you got on it?

ramey · 03-02-2011, 07:58 PM

sean1969c10 · 03-02-2011, 10:16 PM

Nice looking 69, I like the color. I rattle caned my 88 GMC DD about 18 months ago and it is definatly in need of some touch up but over all I'm pretty happy with it and it looks much better than the multi - colored mess it was.

no moa · 03-02-2011, 10:55 PM

Interesting color. Look great for a rattle can job!
