I have a 69 truck also. I filled the holes for the trim around the bottom and left the top molding. I painted it PPG Dahila Blue . I t proably cost me $1500 in paint , primer and supplies.. such as a compressor and running 220V to my garage. Since this was my first paint job I learned a lot. It turned out pretty good but not perfect. Now it's a year later and I have the truck sanded back down and am currently redoing it. I am welding the top trim holes up this go round. If I didn't enjoy learning how to paint,and know this time it will turn out so much better I'd take it to a shop.



And I did see a pink 69 with red flames, it looked pretty cool but remember you have to drive it out in public.
