That looks awesome.  I don't know why, but I love seeing these trucks in primer.

I thought it was just me.

I liked mine in gray primer until I got stuck with it for 6 months...   Paint is good.

it definitely looks good but I dont wanna drive it until everything is finished. just kinda how i am lol. i got my seat brackets shifter and seats today so im excited to get things moving. Only problem is that my floor has some rough spots so i might have to spend a while fixing it. cant decide if i want to get the 5 piece floor kit or just patch up some of the areas. what do you guys think?

It all depends on how bad it is and how good you can weld. Any pics of the rust?

do it the right way, the way you want it while you have it torn apart now. too much work to take it down to decide to repair it later.

i dont have any updated pictures but i cut out a lot of the holes cause i planned on welding in new pieces but now i might just buy a replacement floor pan. the worst spot is that peice of metal that holds the gasket down by the rocker. both sides :/

[Gadzuk79]

hey guys I am in a pickle... Thought i wanted to paint my truck limetime green but now i kinda wanna go with something more old school like Gunmetal gray.. what do you think??

[2502]

get house of kolor's orion silver, mix it 1:1 with the black basecoat, awesome color.

[team39763]

I think gunmetal gray will get attention because it looks cool.  I think the lime green will get attention because it's one of those that says "look at me".  I vote for the gunmetal....or orion silver.

[Gadzuk79]

yeah see my thing was that i love how the lime green looks and everything but i dont wanna get sick of how bright and flashy it would be. plus ive always liked the matte/flat look on a truck.
also is the paint cheaper then if i did a gloss?

[Gadzuk79]

hey guys here is a little update on my truck. finally picked a color after going back and forth a few times. chose sage green which they used to paint vw bus' back in the 70's. couldnt be happier with the outcome and  now i just wanna paint the whole truck. let me know what you guys think about the color!!
