Title: my new to me 1988 V30 CCLB Dually
Post by: OldCreek on March 15, 2014, 05:21:00 PM
Hey guys,

I'm coming over from the 67-72 Chevytrucks world.

I sold a 67-72 Crew Cab 1 ton 4x4 conversion I was building.  I bought this and walked away with a bunch of cash….

Any thoughts on how to best lose the gold? I'm not much a 49's fan.  :o  I'm not ready to do a full paint job, yet. I'd rather it be solid red. The gold appears to be painted on and then a clear coat over it. The clear is pealing now.

Plans, in no order: Alcoa's with 255/85/16, smallest lift to clear the wheels, fix the paint color, polish/cut existing paint, replace a fender, interior clean up/new carpet, lose the cap, line the bed, 4l80e, maintenance on all the other stuff…

I need to keep it on the road with no/little down time so I can….get some work done around the house and barn!!!!!!

Nice.  You could scuff and paint then blend the clear..

I guess i could do that below the belt line…but am worried the new red would make the old look bad(even with a different colored pin stripe.)  Maybe all black, semi-gloss or satin, below the belt line for now?

clean looking truck.  I'm not a niners fan either but the paint doesn't look too bad.

well, I'm a Raider's fan (cough, cough) so it's gotta go! (it's been a painful decade+ )

possible looks:

As much as you probably don't want to hear it...  leave it until you CAN do a proper full paint job.  Why do something twice?

A wise man once said...  If you don't have time to do it right,  when will you have time to do it over?
