Re: 1981 Chevrolet C50 Pick-up Conversion

It is very easy to work with and it really did only cost me under a few hundred dollars. I am taking my current build down to metal, as I did with the blue truck. This adds a few dollars with primer, paint stripper and sand paper. I just like to know what I working with.

But realistically I used less than a gallon of paint on this truck ($40.00), bought a gallon of paint thinner ($10.00) and got my foam rollers at the dollar store (3 for $1.00). So the initial painting of the truck is not that expensive.

It does take a lot of time to go through the various steps, but it is the winter and I hate the cold.... ha.

BTW the color was medium blue. Plan on painting the C50 bright yellow.
