I should be starting the priming and blocking process in the next week or two. I'm going to use all SPI primers and their single stage red. I've never used SPI products before, but everyone swears by them. So I'm going to give them a try. If their products are as good as their customer service, I'll be happy. Anyway, I went ahead and masked off the upper parts of the doors, quarter window area, and dash and shot them with satin black. I also shot the dash, glove box door, and ash tray while i was at it so it would all match. This is backwards of the way some people do it, but I've done it this way in the past and prefer to do it this way. I was happy with the level of sheen on the black I used. It's probably a little flatter than it would have been from the factory, but that's what I wanted. I plan on using the same paint on the firewall and inner fenders. The paint is Excel xl4000 hot rod satin black. Here's a few pictures.
