660Z Posted July 2, 2006 Author Share Posted July 2, 2006 Thanks, sorry I know it was vuge to say the least. I was at work and the thought came to me as my break was ending. Anyway, I have a 72 c30 dually wrecker that was owned by a local body shop that has owned it since new. It only has 19,000 miles on it believe it or not and the body is pretty solid for it`s age. I got it for $500. A few years ago when the shop was slow they told the guys to paint it up. So it`s white with big multi colored scollops and a checkered flag design on the hood and rear of the wrecker body. After it was painted they got work in so the truck sat outside. The white is faded but the painted scallops are still shiny good paint. I`d like to remove the scallops and try to restore the white center section and paint the rest of the white body green. A typical paint design for these trucks. I`d like to use the Rustoleum painting method discussed here lately since the idea is to just make it look presentable and not a studio 54 reject. It is after all a work truck. Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shift Posted July 2, 2006 Share Posted July 2, 2006 I believe the easy way would be to sand the paint even (not off) and just paint over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
