Can't decide what to do now, paint or no paint? Gimme your .02

I agree. but take the next step...scuff it with scotchbrite, compressed air and tack cloth to remove dust, tape it off, rattle can matte clear...couple coats. offers protection, a tiny sheen and it will save the steel. Then drive the hell out of it until you decide which way to go. Learn it's character.

 

I agree with Groucho.....

Heres one of my favorites.....

 

That looks Ford??????

 

I think he was just showing an example of the type of paint he was talking about....
The patina you have now is pretty cool....but do that baby justice and give her a coat of paint!

 

Thinkin I agree with Groucho as well....... The rallies arent that bad.. I'd rock em till I found some nice, closer to stock lookin wheels and put some nice caps on.... Would be real sweet...

 

paint

 

If I may add my .02 cents..
I love the patina your truck processes.
Once you paint it it hard to bring back the ' true grit ' of your truck,,
...hell that patina IS your trucks Heritage. Be proud...!!!
There ARE days I miss mine.

 

Real paint please, and not flat black or the patina stuff, real shinny good looking paint. That's my worthless vote anyway.

 

i'd paint it

 

Paint it. i say white or gold, flat or shiny but paint it

-And im with todd on the smoothies.

 

Please put a nice shiny paint job on it.

 

Shiny paint. Ivory, or cream, body and bed (with navy-blue dual pinstriped lines along beads). Firetruck RED fenders (with ivory pin-striping). Interior same blue as pinstripes, and cigar brown leather seat covers. Paint the top big-flake metal flake silver (as in Little Daddy Roth flakes) to match visor. Gold plate grill and add sombrero caps. Grin big. Say cheese.

 

paint

 

Paint it.

 

Don't paint it.

 

Paint only the back half. Make it look just like the front half.
That way it looks like an aged truck, not a cobbled truck.

 

Don't listen to any of us critics.

 

shiny paint for me.

 

paint but not flat

 

I think you should........

......and..........

....then I'd drive it!!!

 

Paint it, and have some balls.

How about a cream white on the body with a GOLD on the fenders? Very late '50s style.. it would be awesome.

 

Anything but flat black. Maybe a newer paint that is close to the original blue. Paint the accesories white and pinstripe in white also. Stance looks good, I wouldn't lower it anymore. Did I miss the build thread or info?

 

purple

 

no paint.

 

I like the way that sounds.....

 

I would agree.

 

i think you oughta paint it flat royal blue metallic. that's my $0.02.

 

Paint. One color. Flat or shiny

 

Shiny paint.....two tone......but SHINY!!!! If you're gonna paint, then make it something worthwhile. My .02.

 

Shiny Paint!
