Painted!

We the weather was good on Sat. so I did get a chance to paint. I think it turned out real nice. I like the color..it would make a great base color for an urban camo paint scheme.

Nice!

 

[DIESELGREEN]

Looks fantastic. Makes me want to keep my resto nostalgic and not butcher up my 1008 to throw it in the woods. Keep up the good work, I'll be watching this thread too.

progress...

I got the interior floor painted with Herculiner, i used this stuff many times with good results. I also painted the wheels and wheel wells and under the front and back for the truck.

I also got a chance to dye the interior parts black. This was a replacment dash pad (grey) and the dye covered very nice.

Oh, also can see the new tail light lense and front side marker lense installed. NICE!

Enjoy!

That's one hot looking blazer you got going there!

 

[Red_506]

That truck is looking sweet.

dash

Was your dash a new one or was it a dash cover? You do very good work.

NICE TRUCK

Will you be dying the seat belts black, to match the interior???

 

[caladin]

That Dash has got me thinking. Looks great thanks for all the info and pics. How hard was it to remove the cab for cleaing and painting?

 

[combatmech]

Looking great Dave!!

No dash cover, don't like them. This is a replacement Army grey dash pad that was in good shape, so I just used the SEM dye to paint it black.

Don't need to take off the cap off the truck to paint and clean. That's a real PITA. And doesn't add to the quality.

I will not being painting the seat belts black..tried that and does not work. In fact I tried twice! And both time it made the belts too stiff and hard to work in the belt retractors. Then talked to my interior guy who told me that it never works. So now I just paint the hard plastic parts of the belts and leave the belts themselves.

Thanks!

You ever think of dying them?

 

[stampy]

What does a cosmetic resto like this cost? (ballpark) minus the truck cost but assuming paint, new marker lights and interior work such as you have done here? Man it looks great!

Belts

You ever think of dying them?

Yep, that's what I did. It takes a special dye for the belts themselves. Very expensive, better off going to Pep Boys and buying the HELP new black belts.
