yeah, the guy said he could get me a discount on the Nason, so I think I'll just get a fresh batch mixed up. Thanks though!

i'll post the cost here when I buy the paint.

VTCruiser · 03-31-08, 07:57 PM

I just dropped the cruiser off at the paint shop! Hope to have it back by the beginning of next week. Here is the paint I ended up with,

Nason single stage urethane, reducer and hardener:

I also bought a can of paintable chip guard for the rockers and nose

All together, it came to just under $200.

lathamb · 04-02-08, 08:55 PM

Nason is a good product.

VTCruiser · 04-03-08, 08:54 AM

yeah I heave heard good things about the single stage urethane paints versus the old enamels. We'll see how it turns out, but i guess only time will tell.

AGreekBoy · 04-03-08, 11:09 AM

Hey gehn, did you get it back yet.?

I liked it a little better than the 4E9. I looked at some chips and the 464 was just a little lighter. Would I have been happy with 4E9? probably, the two are very similar. I just felt the lighter shade would go better with some disco stripes...

thanks man, can't wait to see it myself. I need to call the painter tonight to make sure it will be ready tomorrow.

boombapslappy · 04-08-08, 01:30 PM

So far, so good!

Looking forward to riding back down to Alan's cabin with you when this beast is done.

that was me! I haven't had a chance to look it over in detail, but I am pretty happy with how it turned out, 464 is a great color. The paint job cost me $700 total ($300 materials, $400 labor). here are a couple pics from this evening after unloading it...

Carp · 04-10-08, 04:42 AM

Looks great! The color is tough to beat on these 60's. Congrats!

2everest · 04-10-08, 08:41 AM

tough to beat is right, i love that color ... sweet man

89s rule · 04-10-08, 10:07 AM

Looks great! Cant wait to see this start to come together. If you find a location for the discos at a resonable price let me know. There are a few threads about discos on the 60's section.

What color is the interior paint?

AGreekBoy · 04-10-08, 02:53 PM

It whole interior was not painted. just around the door and window frames etc. I am debating laying down some por15 or something on the floor and under body, but i haven't decided yet.

no problem man, hope you are feeling better. I am happy with the paint, can't beat it for only $400 in labor and dale is a really nice guy. Thanks for the contact!

89s rule · 04-13-08, 10:37 PM

I would put the stuff that matt in the 45 section used on his 45lv and lpb and your underbody. It was great stuff, and if it can withstand MN winters then its got to be good stuff!

VTCruiser · 04-14-08, 05:19 PM

Well i just dropped a wad of cash on some goodies in preparation for the suspension build-up. I'll post some pics when they get here.
