North Fl Tyclone

That stuff is working good on the cladding. I don't know what the temperature has been in north Fla. But it doesn't have to get very cool and cladding snaps very easily so be careful.

Progress yesterday. The cladding has had 2K primer sprayed, and is ready to block. I think I will just go ahead and paint the truck since the cladding is off.



This is the driver's rear corner that was beat up so bad:

Wow, progress is looking great! That 2k is very gratifying to spray on. It hides all kinds of defects.

I did a little work on the door panels today. They were faded and both sides had a crack in them. I epoxied the cracks up (it does not look like new), and then sprayed interior dye on the faded pieces. I also removed the interior window sweep felts and will probably not replace them.

Progress yesterday. I just blocked the clear on the truck with 180 and fixed the small dents in the body. I may try to prime the truck with 2K in the next day or so. There have been lots of discussion at the body shop about what color to paint the truck, and I am leaning toward a bright silver now.

No, not silver.... there are so many silver cars and trucks on the road. Persoanlly, i'd do a dark / royal blue with dark gray cladding. Basically a version of a stock Royal, only a tad darker!

X2 that would look really good!

You do quick work Randy. Is this what you do for a living?

No, I am a self employed civil engineer with lots of free time. It is really nice having a first class drinking buddy/body man with a fully equipped body shop at his house about a mile down the road. He will be spraying the color, but I will do all the body and prep work.

Re: North Fl Tyclone

I am open to suggestions on the paint color. I want to paint the entire truck one color, but I am not sure which way to go. Throw in the fact that I am color blind and have not taste, I am in a tough spot.

Here is the silver I was thinking about:

You can't go wrong with that silver. It's a beautiful and forgiving color and it hides imperfections well. I wouldn't paint it black.

I agree with SY1177, everything on the road is silver. I would pick something different. Or paint it aspen or garnet!

How about bahama blue or radar? It's a clone anyways so why not try something out of the ordinary!
