1956 International Harvester 4x4 S120 is Painted!

After 2 years of on and off work, 100's of hours of metal work, filler, sanding, primer and more sanding, the International is painted! Take a look through the various stages of final sanding, sealer, base coat and clear....

 This color can look blue or green or anything in between, depending on your eyes, the screen and the available light!


With the clear it looks shiny and wet!


"Before shot" -  grey sealer. Seals all fillers and any primers, hides transitions, gives a solid under color:


Yesterday, we sprayed the 'inners', including the textured box liner:



Which all had to be "reverse-masked" to spray the final top coat....

WE HAVE PAINT!

WE HAVE PAINT!

After so many hours of prep, we had the paint professionally matched  at our paint supplier, to a piece from under the hood, and got the inners ready for color. A few of us are are differing opinions on the hue - and if it actually matches what we see online -  but it certainly matches the piece we gave the paint supply house to match.

Sealer first:














Then, after checking that it all looked good and that the paint wouldn't have to try and cover any pinholes, blotches, scratches, etc., we shot the paint:














Next up will be the truck box - with tinted box liner...

Then.... the outers!
