Default New paint
Thanks to all the advice I got on here I finaly got it done. Alot of dust, some orange peel and a few runs, but I think it turned out ok for my first time painting.

looks great.
in the future, news print is dusty, so use paper designed for painting and you should have painted the roof first, plastic over fresh paint is not recommended [traps solvents].
again great job and i love the color.

YAHOOOOOOO, that is one Sky Blue and White pickup!
And the best part is? You didn't pay someone else several 1000$ to do it for you.
Great work, congratulations.

Looks great and just remember, crusin' down the street at 30 mph or running down the highway at 65 mph nobody will be able to see a little dust, a run or two, or a little orange peel.

Looks like you did well, for a first timer...and even the veterans get dust, runs, and orange peel in the paint, especially if they don't paint in a booth...that is what fine sand paper and buffing compound is for!
Love the color!

Thanks guys , the blue floor was just an added bonus . Guess I get to try garage floor coating systems next. Its just single stage omni mtx, if I would have read the reviews before I bought it I would have got something better. Its supposed to be stock Chevy lite blue for 63 but I think they mixed it a tad darker.
