Default new paint for my 85

just finished repainting the truck last night.. I used duplicolour, it ain't show quality but I didn't do any body work other than getting the rust off... don't have the time to have her down for long


Anyways I just realized I totally wasted this post because after trying 3 different times with 2 different pictures this place won't let me upload one so I hope Y'all didn't want pics

Doesn't look bad, some wet sanding and buffing outta be good.



Just curious, is your exhaust that square tube?

Not sure weather I'll go the wetsanding and buffing route yet it's a work truck and my daily driver just really wanted to get the surface rust that was starting in the chips off an get enough paint on her to protect her from the elements.

The square bar you asked about is the belly bar for my camper, I just leave it on all the time because it is a pia to take off

Looks nice! Did you manage to get all the trim off in one piece?

Well almost, I think I wrecked the 2 little chrome pieces that wrap arount the back of the box up top, and the truck was already missing one of the little chrome strips that go on near the top of the box.. maybe one day I'll find some in the wreckers. I'm just hoping I can get the trim back on the bottom of the truck and the top chrome from the fender to the back of the cab on without scratching anything
