66gtk Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 Here's the look that I'm going for.https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n128764/Jeffs_Dream.jpg Every time I see this picture it reminds me of Troy, so I'll tag him;). Cheers Troy, I hope all is well in cold north;). Merry Christmas everybody - that two tone flareside is just like my dad used to have. I will always love it.

BigBrother-84 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Here's the latest pic of my '85 before getting ready for the tu tone to be added.https://forum.garysgaragemahal.com/file/n128734/last_pic_before_tu_tone.jpg Funny, Big Bro was painted all white before red was added. Don't ask me why, I too asked a professional paint shop to do the work. Finally a Clear was applied. When do you plan to proceed with the two tone?

I'm thinking of doing that to my 1981, or at least the hood. The rest of the paint is in good condition for a daily driver etc. I used to do a lot of paint work myself but getting to the point where I can't do as much anymore. It's interesting, but Ford used to paint the tu-tones the same way. Paint the whole truck the middle color first, then the rest on top of that.

Yep, the brown on my F150 was fading on top of the fenders, and you could see the light tan secondary (middle) color underneath it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
