opinions on paint idea
What do u all think about black hammertone paint on a 66 chevy truck?The texture isnt that bad kinda looks like a real bad orange peel .I would put several coats of clear on it to be blocked down so the clear would be mirror smooth but when u get up close u get the multi color hammertone effect(the paint I have is black and silver the low part of the orange peel is dark silver while the high ridges are black and both colors have lots o real fine metal flake!!!I have painted the inner fenders already and it looks really cool and all who have seen it say it looks bitchen but I wanted to get a better opinion from all of u guys and gals since I know alot of u goto shows, meets ,and gatherings and see alot of different rides.I am not gunna try to win the riddler with it or anything just want something a little different.Its gunna take longer than u thought and its gunna cost more too(plan ahead!)

If you like it as well as your friends do than how can you do better than "bitchin??" I think it will fit you, and it sounds like a great idea shoot.Jim

I think that will look great! I love that look anyway...i've used it on metal furniture...although i think it will look sooooo much cooler with the extra clearcoat/gloss...POST A PIC when you do it...I want to see how it turns out!You miss 100% of the shots you never take

That would look awsome especially with extra clear.You don't know what you've got til it's gone

Sounds like a sweet idea!!! I've got a suggestion...what about doing some flames in a regular smooth gloss black...you'd get kind of a ghosted effect between the textures.
Way to step out and be different. Sometimes it's good to try something new.
Can't wait to see it when it's done!!tmooregraphics.com
