Thanks buddy

Thank you buddy

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 your welcome take care..

Lol yeah I wanted to do a nice show paint job but I’m happier with this. If It gets a scratch who cares 🤘 Plus there’s some stores behind some of the dints.

Thanks buddy

Nice I’d love to see it @bravojuan559

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 I'll make a video of it man and show you, I like your trk man keep it up,

Look up homegrown custom FAB and they have a quick video of my 68 when they did the 4 link on it but you'll see how I did the patina but I don't like it, I like your method better. But look em up on RU-vid and you'll see

I like it. Where are you from?

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 Thank you, I'm from Hanford CA

Thanks buddy. Hey I can put you on the list. Lol

Thanks. Yeah she’s a nut.

Man it turned out good what kind of clear you used its shinny as hell!!

@@andrewarren2701 thanks bro. I use PPG 2021 high solids clear

Thank you 🤘

Bring it here to the north Florida and I’ll put it on it for you

1968 gm 507. Sorry I just seen this comment.

It was just solid black base coat. I don’t remember the brand I was trying something new. It didn’t hold up well. Next time I will use ppg.

Thanks yeah it’s a very light blue it’s the factory color I do not remember the paint code if you want it I can find it

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 - thanks. Paint code is not necessary. Just knowing that it’s blue and not plain gray is helpful.

Yeah the color doesn’t pick up on camera very well. sometimes it looks white. sometimes it looks gray but it’s a nice baby blue in person.

Hey you can. I’m in north Florida.

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 I'm out here in Las Vegas. Definitely would be worth the trip

I made a fuel cell and mounted it to the frame rail just like the 1973 and newer trucks.

ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hhJQyakIuHo.html Hers a video all about my shop. But to answer your question. It is 26x35.

Thanks bro. I have been thinking of doing a video like that. I almost did it on this truck but I took some short cuts that I wasn’t proud of on it. I may do one soon.

Nice thanks. The wheels I’m running for now are 22x9 by bigg I do not know the name of the wheels. I made a video about the tires.

No buffering I just turn up the pressure and hammer it on to make the high solids clear slick out.

Okay man I think ima try it on my c-10. It’s very straight and primed black

Just preference. But it definitely irritates some people to see fake patina.

I used PPG shop line JP202 primer surfacer on this and I used sherwin Williams Dimension base. The primer is a good cheap primer and the base was what I could get that day neither one or anything special but both work just fine

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 thank you . I won’t use tractor supply paint then! Lol

@@ksduathlete what’s your budget and are you trying to do?

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 I’m buying my brother 67 c10. I did a patina paint job on it a couple years ago but it was rattle can. I’m wanting to do one like yours. I want to do that old Chevy blue color on top. Anyway I’m hoping not to spend over $500. Like you I’m not too worried about small dents . I may replace a fender on the passenger side . I’ve got ideas about making it a shortbed too so obviously that’s way more than $500! I got a lot of ideas in my head ! If you look at my channel there’s a video on the 67c10.

@@ksduathlete if you’re wanting a glossy finish I definitely recommend going basecoat clearcoat and make sure you buy a clearcoat that is easy to buff. Only reduce your base 25% and spray it 75% overlap. Use a tack cloth between coats put an extra coat of clear so that you can send some off if you have to buff.

Lol that would be cool 😎

The blue is the factory 507 blue and the black is just generic straight black.

It’s got a black epoxy then black base so both

It has 2 thick coats of 2021clear, 1 coat of the blue so it was easy to sand off, 2 coats of the black primer. It’s starting to have issues where the black shows threw. Because the black does not have UV protection.

Thanks buddy. Not sure what your asking

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 what upper rad hose did you use ?

@@cdnbroncolife1889 oh I will look tomorrow and see if the number is still on it. I went behind the counter at the parts store and found that one.

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 100% thanks Yeah I went to a few here and they all suck and don’t have the selection to actually view 1.25” - 1.5” Canada.. go figure .. like finding the holy grail

@@cdnbroncolife1889 71994 is the upper radiator hose # but if I had a truck water pump It may not work. I am running the LS1 Camaro water pump. But it does look like I cut this hose to fit so it might would work on the truck style if it wasn’t cut

1968 GM 507 blue

I sanded the blue with 600 and then used a red scotch bright to get the it to look more natural.

Looking to try that in my c300 Mercedes. Smile.

Gm 507 blue. It was the original 1968 color

There’s black metal primer, then gray filler primer, on the body work. Then I sprayed black base, blue base, then clear 🥵

Bryan Acres thanks and do need any fancy spray gun or anything like to get those results. Also did you wet sand and polish

@@arlenmartin8672 you don’t need anything fancy but it it’s much easier to achieve with a good gun. But do not go cheap on the clear coat. I did not polish / buff this truck.

Bryan Acres thanks

Sorry to bother you again but about how long did you wait to spray the blue over the black and how long did you wait to sand through after spraying. Also how long did you wait before you did the clear coat.

I used Ppg 2021 clear witch was around 5 years old 😬 and 4th dimension base by Sherwin Williams.

@@rowdyridesbryanacres3106 it looks amazing man.

The stock Gm 507 blue 🤘

I’m in lake city Florida. I’d love to do another. You can message me on Facebook if you’d like.

Thank you. I’d have to agree. I can always sand the clear with 800 or wash it with a scotch pad to give it the flat look where I want it and be shiny where I want like the real thing.

Thank you for the feed back. That was the first video I ever added music too. I will tone it down in the future.

Thanks buddy. I love high solids clear.

I wasn’t a fan of it myself. The body gaps and overall condition of the body is pretty rough. Thanks to thin aftermarket parts. So this was the cheapest easiest way to paint the truck and stop the rust. It turned out much better looking than I expected. People love it. I can’t even stop at a red light with out people complimenting it.

What would you like people to call it?

It look dope you can actually whipe and wax the clear so you have a clean patina not a dingy dusty patina truck that looks dirty. Don’t get me wrong patina with out clear is bad as well

Judging by everyone’s reaction now verses when it was black for 4 years. I’d definitely say people like the “Store bought jeans with holes in it” much better lol 🤘🏼 But just like I said in the beginning of the video. The body on this thing fits like hell with all the aftermarket parts. Painting it correctly, all black would look horrible. Besides there are thousands of black c10s on the street. I’ve yet to see another patina blue c10, but yes I’m sure they are out there. I appreciate you watching, commenting, and giving your opinion on it.

It’s my name. Bryan Acres or you can look up #blueberryc10 or #bryanspsint

Thank you
