![]() ![]() I don't want rust, etc, but I want to put a color "primer" coat under a new paint job, and rub it down to look flat and worn. I posted a thread not too long ago about "ruining" my truck. I didn't have to hide it from people or "be careful" with it. I almost think I enjoyed it more than did I did after I painted it. My truck was flat black for almost 10 years. Then come the scratches and knicks and door dings. I used to love pretty trucks until mine was one. I don't mean to hurt anyone's feelings, this is just my opinion, but it's time to wake put to the reality that you aren't going to be able to pick and choose original 40 + year old parts I cannot even find a decent Swb fleet bed in any color that is under $1000 ( in relatively dry central Texas)! I saw and ad on the parts forum that is looking for a Swb fleet bed in a particular color. I admit there is no harm in putting and ad out looking for the part in the color needed, but after a year (!) c'mon! It's time to wake up and realize it time to break out the paint gun. I then had the parts painted to match or painted the whole vehicle. I always try to track down original sheetmetal, not giving any notice to color. I have purchased several wrecked trucks and rebuilt them. I have been building old cars and trucks as a hobby for over 20 yrs. Now I have had someone contact me wanting me to sell a from clip off a running driving truck! ![]() Then i start seeing WTB ads from people looking for original paint parts. First it seems that I saw a lot of builders spending as much or more on a fake patina paint job (maybe they saw it on "Trucks" like I did). ![]()
