Re: Right outta the paint booth

Thanks. Color is Viper Red. Sprayed over a white primer so it really pops. Glasurit base and clear. Very expensive materials but worth it

Re: Right outta the paint booth

Hey thanks, just finishing a two year, 1500 hour frame off nut and bolt restoration. Was quite the saga but it's finally coming together. Tons of time spent making sure everything is straight, thanks for noticing. The big back window conversion went beautifully, if anyone has any questions about that I'm happy to help. It was actually one of the easier parts of the job. I agree with you about quality coatings. I learned the hard way that you can't skimp on paint materials.

Re: Right outta the paint booth

62lwbc10, I "LIKE" it. I painted my 302 (for us old guys, most say 5.0) V8 Miata, '95 Viper Red. So, I'm definitely a fan. When you cut and buff, it's going to be a "knock your eyes out" sorta deal!!!

Re: Right outta the paint booth

Wow 62, looks fantastic. I absolutely LOVE it. Huge congratulations. I'm over the moon about my new red paint job too. Can't wait to watch it go together.

Man, red IS expensive. Holy moly.

Wondered the same thing while viewing the shot taken from the right rear of the truck. It has a sort of candy apple appearance.

Re: Right outta the paint booth

Yeah a lot of people saying that and I agree it does have a candyish look about it. But it's just a solid color, no metallic.

Door after sanding up to 4000 and then polished. Not too shabby.

Re: Right outta the paint booth

Nice, I'm just a little ahead of that stage, red also only darker. After looking at primer forever the paint is light at the end of the tunnel, now you can really see what it's going to be.

^^^ Mine too. Also darker but I LOVE Viper red.

I just worrried I might tire of the bright colors as I intend to keep my truck long term (til I croak, and I'm hoping that's long term!)


^^^This was not cut or polished, right out of the gun.^^^

Wow. that looks amazing. I did a 70 SS Chevelle a few years back in Viper red. Prettiest car I ever had. Course, I couldn't afford Glasurit, but even still, that is an awesome color of red. Just enough orange to keep it from looking lipsticky.
Bravo.

Re: Right outta the paint booth

That is nice. Great to see someone go to the effort to have a top rate paint job and a really nice finished truck.
