Shot some paint on the truck tonight.

Hung and fit both door's..prepped the cab, doors and front fenders and laid down some final paint on them...
I don't normally like to shoot it together, but with the suicide doors it's a ***** to line them up and fit them so all i could think of was messing up the new paint had i don it later.....and i would have messed it up. I hung em alone and wasn't having the best of luck, especially with the p*** side. It hates me.
Anyway,i'm happy with it overall, but i did hang a few curtains i have to wet sand tomorrow..then lay a couple more coats to be "done"..
I didn't spend a ton of time blocking it out, just looking for it to be smooth and presentable..But i actually think i could have shot it gloss black now if i wanted...i guess i did more blocking than i thought i did..
Nice thing is when i do decide to go gloss ( it WILL be eventually, just not now) i know it won't be a big job to get it where it needs to be..
Yes, i know the satin black is typical..so am i..Well, that and i liked it before it was "in"
It will be flamed BAD BOB style..(do a search and look at his Merc..sometin' like that)...
So anyway, here's a few pics.
By the end of the weekend it will be fully painted and should be pretty much ***embled so i can lay out the flames......
Then more paint work...

heres the pics:

I took this just for the hell of it. Still wet here..literally, just shot. I'm still holding the damn paint gun , driver's side door/cowl area

Sorry for the ****py cell phone pics..
well that's it for now..
Might post more next week once it's together and in one color....right now, i gotta go to bed..I'm F*%KING shot!

Tony

 

looks good..

 

I dont care what anyone says..Flat black still looks tough as hell. At least I hate red wheels. Cant wait to see it with the flames.

 

flat black is my all time favorite, common-or-not, it still looks good on most any rod.

 

HA! That makes two of us
My favorite is gloss black..but this is a close second.
Thanks guy's........
Now, i'm goin to bed!

Tony

 

Looks like a smooth body.

 

'nother FINE job, Tony ! Looking forward to seeing it done.

 

Thanks Tag...
I'm looking forward to seeing it done too.....like, i wish it was done already....gettin' tired of working on it now

 

how much of a chop is that ?

 

Good job,but looked way better to me shiny Still great work though.

 

Yep, it look's very good. Flat finish will never die.

 

Lookin good, Tony! What color are you gonna do the flames?

 

looks great so far man!

 

Thanks guy's..
Yes, i'll agree, it looked better shiny....it will be someday, just not yet
It's about a 4" chop judging by what i removed from the side window's.
The flames will be a solid, blood red and panel style, not off the whole front of the truck. both front fender's, hood, roof, and rear fenders with get the 'treatment'..
