Anyone painted a 60 series black?

[KingB]

I'm trying to decide whether or not to paint my 88 62 the stock charcoal grey, or switch colors altogether. I was wondering if anyone has pics of a cruiser painted black? I've got no rust on the rig but PO painted it flat gray and I'm not much of a fan...

I had a black 62 one time that was a professional color change from a body shop. Looked great, no pix th.

I think Doc did, I'm not a fan of black on Cruisers but I think he did a flat black, wasn't as bad.

Go charcoal Gray! I love black paint but it shows every scratch lot of work to keep it nice.Also you won't have to paint the inside of the doors.

Thanks guys, I appreciate the input. Another option would be to go sky blue like my 84 60....Always have liked that blue! I agree charcoal gray would be easier and I may just go that route but it'd be nice to have something a little different too.

rig of mortis has a black one, though it has a grey stripe now, but that was a later addition IIRC, so he's likely got some all black shots

A 60 is kinda like a greenhouse with all the windows. I would be afraid of it getting super hot in the summer being black.

Gloss black would look nice IMOP. But black is really hard to spray to look perfect, so it won't be cheap IMOP.

I love black when it's clean, but it doesn't stay clean...

I just painted my 70 about 2 feet from the bottom, black and the rest is silver... looks good with the two tone, but the black is always dirty... not that being dirty will hurt it.

Go for it! Plan on about 3 yrs of sanding though to get the body straight.

I spotted a black one in a driveway in Lawton, OK in 1995. It really caught my attention and it still sticks in my mind.
Go for it, if you can stand the heat.

Black 60 series' look awesome! (IMHO) Found this one on the Internet. I thought it looked pretty kewl. It is my choice of color. My plan is black Durabak bed liner on the entire exterior. Scroll down this page to see what it looks like on vehicles: http://www.nonslipcoating.com/photogallery.htm
