Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project

Re: '72 C/10 Custom Cruiser Project

SHE HAS PAINT!!!

Well, the first two coats, but its color! this type of paint is better lay down all at once so they are only putting down the 1st 2 coats then when all of the parts are ready for paint, they will all be shot at the same time so they all match. anyway, I'm also going with white on the roof and below the bottom trim. here are some pics from yesterday

in the booth:






Out



fenders



others




and a comparison from new(on the jamb) to old (on the dash)


its pretty darn close!

all in all i am extremely happy so far!
