I started the paint prep for my 60 over the weekend.

Here is my game plan.

I have very limited space in my Garage, so i will be taking all of the body panels that i can off the truck and painting them individually.

The hood, then the front fenders, then the Doors, hatch and tailgate. Once all those are done, It will probably be well into spring, and I will be able to paint the rest of the body in my Driveway outside.

Did I mention I will be rolling on Rustoleum?

Color: I selected the Rustoleum Professional "Sand" Color, but, like others, decided it looked a little too peach colored, so I decided to experiment with mixing in "Smoke Grey" a different color of the same type paint.

Here is the results of mixing 3 parts "sand"
to 1 part "smoke grey"

this is a photo of my Hood with the sanding almost complete. The box on top has two color sample painted on it. The right side is the "sand". The left side is the Mixture.




I am excited to see how it goes on. I'll be finishing the sanding and starting the first coats in the next few days.

More pics to follow!
