New paint pics

Just pulled the truck out of the garage yesterday. I had removed the bed, fenders, hood, doors, seat, bumpers, grill, and all the interior. I put carpet, painted the interior and door panels, and painted the rest of the truck. I got the factory paint code and used ppg omni acrylic urethane enamel. I also ordered a full weatherstrip kit from bronco graveyard. Let me know what you think. This is my first paint job. Thanks for looking.

Man, that is definitely blue. Looks great and I bet it didn't cost as much as a paint shop.

Looks great, don't see that shade of blue around very often. I like the black paint on the grille inserts too!

It was a lot cheaper than a paint shop. I paid about 180 for the paint,reducer, and hardner, and about 100 for the primer, sealer, and por-15 rust stop. I have a little less than $400.00 in the paint job. Thanks for the comments.

I did it in a garage by myself. It took a couple of months because I only had time to work on it after work and some on the weekends. I will try to upload some pics off of my phone that I took when I had everything apart.

Here are a couple of pictures during the teardown. Sorry for the quality they were taken with a camera phone.

Great job! I had to squint my eyes though. LOL, I don't know how much bluer you could get.
