I had a Forest Service Green '80 Chevy PU. That's the one that got a BBB. Anyhow - my plan was to paint it mostly white with a green hood stripe and green rockers so the green interior would "fit". I had to replace the hood and painted it so it already had the scheme - looked a LOT better.

Hmmmm, white is a possibility. I hadn't thought of white because I hate white vehicles. But if I'm selling it anyways, I dont have to look at it. White might be the way to go. Not sure I want to tackle a two-tone job, I'm not confident enough in my painting ability to pull that one off...Still plays with trucks....

omni paint
for a cheap good paint job i have always used omni "ppg but cheap version" either way you want to go base clear, enanmel it lays down nice. Avg price enamal 180-450 dependig on color and base clear or enamal and/or white to red in color. Just make sure u get a slow hardner so ya can lay the the whole paint job down wet n get that shine

I've used the Omni paint, we painted my dad's truck with Omni single stage Urethane. Still way more expensive than the Summit paint line. He had $250 in a gallon of red, Summit is $71 per gallon.
John, I was trying to avoid the John Deere look, but some people dig it, so it might be a viable route.Last edited by ford141; April 11, 2013, 06:53 AM.Still plays with trucks....

Spray for shine. Best painting advise I ever got. With enamel JUST when it gets shiny is about perfect - but drier for the first coat.
The above doesn't apply for base/clear. The base likes to be just a little dry. I keep getting it too wet out of habit.

If you're just going to flip it, you could always run it down to maaco for one of their $300 dollar specials...
Might end up being just as cheap by time you buy all the supplies...87 Mustang GT with bolt on's. Follow my build here:
