Had a 67 XKE in Gunmetal Gray -- you might want to consider that color.

 

every color 7th gen truck peeled around here.back in the day my old man heard they used bad primer or something.there wasn't a 7th gen on the road that didn't have the peeling paint at least on the hood.

i spray bombed mine (green to black ) lol.he prepped his eventually years latter and i sprayed his with quality paint and the spray gun (charcoal to charcoal.) the only paint job iv ever done to this day still and it looked really good actually not a run nor orange peel in it.lasted 7 more good years as a yard/plow truck before he sold it............hmm.i suppose i really should consider just handling log truck on my own.who knows.i'll have to ask him,but i think we clear coated and everything too.man this was back awhile.
