There are a lot of paint places online and then there is the local NAPA Auto Parts. I’m not doing a full restoration, just a “Good Enough” job to keep the truck in respectable and useable condition.

How many gallons should I purchase and at what cost? Any brand I should look for or avoid? I’ve thought about taking the easy way out and getting a MACCO paint job, They did good work on my SUV.

Any suggestions?

 

1966 paint codes:



IIRC about a gallon for a car, but you are two tone and have an inside bed to consider.

I'll let one of the members that have recently painted one of these trucks to answer more precisely.

 

Napa sells re-branded Sherwin Williams Auto paint, it is a very good product for a daily driver. i would ask for a single stage Acrylic Enamel, if your doing a 2 tone job, one gallon of each color will be enough. i would buy your paint locally, dont order it on line.
2 gallons with hardner and reducer should run about 250-300 bucks

i would spend the money for a good primer/sealer to lay down first, especially if your truck has primer spots and different colors on it.
