Post some pics of your favorite Lo Gloss/ Suede/ Primered TRUCKX!!

My buddy Pat's F-100 - it's in this month's Goodguys mag.

 

I'm a OD green freak!

 

How did this guy get that particular finish on that truck? I'm gonna paint my 58 Apache dark blue, but I'm not sure what finish to use to get it how I'm picturing it in my head. I see things all the time with the finish I like, but I have a hard time explaining it to people. The closest thing I can think of is the blue christmas ornament balls they sell at Walmart during the holidays. There are some that look satin. There are also some T-Mobile slide phones that are blue suede. This truck's finish looks the closest to it so far. Any body have any ideas?

 

can hardly wait till mine is worthy to be here.

 

Just old paint and rust. Hope this post, new to this.

 

not sure.. but im sure its hotrod flatz... they have several flat metallic blues too.

 

Awesome Thread! Here's my pile!

 

heres mine

 

have any more of this? i like the stance, that's how I want my '50 to sit.

 

You want a flat-black truck? Here ya go
26 TT grain truck runs mid-45's with its monster 20hp banger and 7:1 worm gears...top speed about 20mph!

 

This was one I built in 1998. I sold it in 2003 and can be seen running around the Kent WA area. I wish I'd kept it.

 

"Hard Times" built by Sick industries.

 

Theres something you dont see everyday...

 

here's an interior shot:


for grins:

 

not necessarily lo gloss, suede, or primered, but the coolness factor is through the roof!

 

I dig Jack Rudy's truck too.

 

Yeah, I've already checked out HotRod Flatz and none of those colors or finishes are what I'm looking for.

 

Here's a phone with the finish basically like I want. I know for sure there was a 53 blue suede Cadillac owned by Jim Bruns in the (03)? issue of Rod and Custom with the finish I like. His, of course, was just done with PPG Firemist Blue Metallic basecoat, but in Texas, we can't do that because it will fade.

Heres mine again. The drummer from queens of the stone age bought it for his dad.

 

The closest I can find is Jim Brun's 53 Caddy, but he just used a basecoat. I can't do that in Tx, because it'll fade and look like shit.

 

one more

 

Look at mine in an earlier page on this very same post....

 

Heres mine.

 

Suede in snow.

 

Ok,heres mine it's a tinted primer I had to use for a base.But now it is going to stay this color.Looks good like that.See all you east coast H.A.M.B.ers at Myrtle Beach next weekend.

 

In my opinion, one of the coolest suede colors, on one of the coolest vans I've ever seen. Complete with Cragars, Wide Whites, and Killer Kustom Art by Squindo...

 

I've got a 58 and would love to get my ride height right where yours is. If you don't mind me asking what did u do to yours?

 

not stocks van is defintly bad ass i thought about putting it up*love the blue
