Just like they did in the old days. Just a plain blue no B C , CC metallic, no pearl. The roadrunner is seeing the sun for the first to me after being molested for a month with sanding ,sanding & more sanding . Now for some interior work .
You knocked it out of the park Bob,there is a lot to be said for keeping the paint simple ~ absolutely beautiful! HRP

Pinman hope you are stay'n warm. Thanks for the good words. I started this three years ago with a bucket case & wondered @ 80 years old what the hell I was doing. Just glad I did it tho.
Looks great, and you didn't even have to sell an organ for materials. Here's the money shot: Great color and nice work!
No that was just a blue I picked out of the Nason color chart The camera don't do it justice as it is darker than most of the pictures.
Looks really good Bob. Your right about the big snow here , lots of buildings go down every day. I have been lucky so far. My shop and onion shed keeps shedding but my house and the mobile have to be shoveled.
I'd sure like to. I hear from him rarely. He's the same if not more so ( you know what I mean ). Looked at the picks again and I'm liking it more and more. You could not have done better IMO.
