Projects 1935 Beater Pickup Paint

My first paintjob in progress. A good friend loaned me his shop as well as the expertise of he and his dad. His 15 yr old son is helping me too. I am embar***ed that a 15 yr old kid is more adept with body work than myself, but I am having a ball. Here are a few photos...

what color ya goin ?

 

Painting it gunmetal gray metallic, one of the Flatz colors.

 

A few more photos of the process. Really diggin the paint. It looks like primer gray until you get within a few feet, then the metallic jumps out.

 

The HR Flatz gunmetal is nice...thought about doing my 37 binder that way with glossy black fenders to set it off...

 

Looks great!

 

Ready for paint tomorrow.

 

Updated paint photos.

 

New photos. Im pleased with the results but will do better next time.

 

What kind of wheel is that? Never seen the like of it!

 

Don't beat yourself up on the first paint job! From the pictures it looks great. Really has changed the truck for the better.

 

Neat truck. Startin' to look good, and three pedals too!
