after almost 4 years we finally got some paint on the wife's truck

 

Looking very nice. Wife looks happy. You know what they say, " Happy wife, Happy life." You we're gonna be beggin for pics when you get it put back together. At least your shop is big enough to spray them all at once. Very cool.

 

It almost looks like you sprayed the pup the same color!!! Looks great

 

looking good. Pretty color too.

 

thanks for the comments the pup came first so she had the color first the pictures don't show the true color there is a ton of gold pearl in it and looks great in the sun shine

 

Looking forward to seeing pictures out in the daylight

 

I'm sure the pup is worth her weight in gold too.

 

I love that color, boy is it cool.

 

the pups name is Hilda and she was extremely upset the past few days that she couldn't be in the garage with me she thinks the garage is there for her enjoyment

 

It is a great color, and it looks a lot like yours Jim

Nice shop, happy wife, great looking truck, and good dog. How much better does it get??

 

So you married Carol Merrill, I always wondered what happend to that Wisconsin gal after 'Let's Make a Deal'.

It is always a happy day when the project shifts from fixin' to reassembly. You are closer to the end than the beginning.

 

I was wondering if you were going to comment on the color Jimmy...when I first saw the pics I thought, boy that sure does look like Jimmy's truck! Nice job on the paint...it's a good feeling when all the panels are the same color, shiny helps too!

 

The color is called shiny penny pearl its a stock color from summit racing line of paint I wouldn't recommend this paint for an all over as its very transparent and took over 3 1/2 gallons of unmixed base coat to cover evenly we reduced it at 50% as recommended by Sherwin Williams the manufacture

 

I don't know how much experience you have with painting but it is common practice to use a tinted sealer under any metallic/pearl BC these days. House of Kolor KD 3000 series is what I use on all my paint jobs. Could be water under the bridge now but you may have another job coming up...

 

The person who shot this for me has had his own shop for over 30 years and never seen this happen before once we started it was to late for the tinted sealer just had to keep moving forward
