quietwyatt,

Your truck look awesome!!! Is the top painted Rangoon Red or a special red?

Thanks.

That's special Packard paint.

DV65CustomCab,

It sure looks like it didn't come cheap !!!

I think I have the record on a price/quart of paint, though. I'm restoring a bunch of air cleaners for my Friend's Mustangs and we paid $184 for PPG Ford Blue with Flattening agent, etc. The special mixed quart of paint alone was $81 !!! Man, paint is getting expensive.

I'm planning on painting mine Rangoon Red, Dupont without Clearcoat, so I'm hoping it won't be tooooo expensive. It will probably be $500-1,000 I bet ... ouch

Ha Ha Dwight. I forgot about that dang story.
Olliesshop,
That is rangoone red on top and metallic tan on the bottom. It is base coat clear coat. 2 qts of red and 2 qts of tan 1 qt of sealer and a gallon of clear plus a gallon of reducer ran me close to $700.00. I dang near cried. I shot it myself. It is due for another paint job. I think it will be done by a pro next time.

quietwyatt,

Thanks for the info. I'm leaning toward a stock color, since your paint job looks so nice, it's another reason to shoot it with Rangoon Red.

Thanks again
