A paint restart. After the paintjob (clear cote) failed, the paint is stripped. I'm overthinking the color at all. Maybe it wont appear in black again.

Did you hand paint the exhaust system after spraying whole chassis black? Great work. Any priming?

Christian W
Yes I did. All the details at the chassis are worked out afterwards.
Thank you!

Light or a dark blue? I'm a fan of dark blue . Nice idea!

Nicely done, very meticulous work! Attention to details...That's the only reason I'd mention this....the fuel tanks on these trucks were a kind of black poly plastic with metal straps, with a kind of rubber insulator between the tank and strap.
Not that anyone will know if you leave it, it creates a nice color contrast

Oh man, you're right. The car is to new to have fuel tanks made of aluminum or sheet metal. Hm. I don't know whether to change it or leave it as is. My dilemma. I'm thinking about it.

Christian, what about dark blue with silver?

Hm. bad paint as we talked.
I think About light Gold. or this two-paint blue-silver.

Finally I decided for black again.

The last parts are in work. The engine hood and tail gate will become another layer of clear cote. Then I think it's done.

Album info

To compare the conversion from the Chevy to the GMC, I decided to build a Chevy right out of the box. So at the end this one should clearly show what has been changed for the built of the GMC.
