Interesting color combination. | | | | | Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Nov 2004 Posts: 338 | Any lessons learned on painting the fenders? Looks like they came out nice.
What paint did you use? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 | Rich'sToys green is my favorite color. InMy40s I used Omni bs/cc. Just make sure that the primer is real smooth. I wet sanded the heck out of the fenders with 400 grit sand paper | | | | | Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 191 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Sep 2005 Posts: 191 | Looking good,I like the green too. I haven't had much time to work on my 51, been working on my 48 Willys trying to get it back to running. You'll really have a truck to be proud of when you're done.  | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 | stilllookin thanks. It's been a very long road. I hope to have it finished by March which will be a 7 year restoration. Funny how things go it was supposed to be a 1 year restoration. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,986 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 2,986 | Seems like they always take longer than we think they will. I wasn't bad mouthing your color choice--if I left that impression, I apologize. I just meant that the two tone green is a combination you don't see that often. But I like it.
It's obvious that you put a lot of effort into those fenders. Nice job!! | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 | Rich I wasn't offended at all and your right you don't see two tone green very often. Thanks for the nice comments. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 Junior Member | | Junior Member Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 28 | Very Nice....Can not wait to see it done.!!!
