New paint

Thanks to all the advice I got on here I finaly got it done. Alot of dust, some orange peel and a few runs, but I think it turned out ok for my first time painting.

 

Looking real good

 

Got the floor looking nice and Blue too

 

Damn-looks real perty!

 

Looks great! Love that color too!

 

Nice job!!!

 

looks great.
in the future, news print is dusty, so use paper designed for painting and you should have painted the roof first, plastic over fresh paint is not recommended [traps solvents].
again great job and i love the color.

 

Looks great, love the blue. Is that Grabber Blue ?

I am a huge fan of paint.

You now can say, I did it myself.

 

Looks great. Always so satisfying to tackle a paint project!

 

YAHOOOOOOO, that is one Sky Blue and White pickup!
And the best part is? You didn't pay someone else several 1000$ to do it for you.
Great work, congratulations.

 

Did you do the floor to match?

 

Nice job! No better way to learn than to jump in and do it.

 

nice color

 

Looks great, nice and shiny, you done good. What brand name paint did you use and is it single stage?

 

Looks great and just remember, crusin' down the street at 30 mph or running down the highway at 65 mph nobody will be able to see a little dust, a run or two, or a little orange peel.

Diggin' the blue and white. Nice job.

 

Looks like you did well, for a first timer...and even the veterans get dust, runs, and orange peel in the paint, especially if they don't paint in a booth...that is what fine sand paper and buffing compound is for!
Love the color!

 

Congratulations, looks great in the photos! Hopefully most of the dust and orange peel will come out with a little water sanding.

 

Thanks guys , the blue floor was just an added bonus . Guess I get to try garage floor coating systems next. Its just single stage omni mtx, if I would have read the reviews before I bought it I would have got something better. Its supposed to be stock Chevy lite blue for 63 but I think they mixed it a tad darker.

 

not to bad for yourfirst time! now its time for the best part go cruzin!

 

Very Nice Now you can charge all your Buddy's and fund your next build

 

Good for you, looks nice.

 

That looks nice, the blue and white look sweet!

 

You gotta feel good about the paint job...it looks great. The next one will be easier and better.
Great job!!

 

Single stage sticks to everything. My jack and jack stands still have red on them as well as a lot if my tools from a paint job done in 1986. That single stage lasts a long time. Truck looks good.

 

Looks good from my rockin chair!... Good job! I bet your nose hairs match the truck too!

 

It looks good. Wet sanding and a buffer will cure a lot of sins.

Looks really good for a first time paint job ! I do like shades of Blue anyway so that was a plus . What color is that called anyway ?

Orange peal and dust who cares you will be the only one who knows where they are at. Looks good for a first time paint job. Its going to look awsome once you get it all back together.
