exterior of truck will have nuthing done. im going to go over it with some 800 grit then wash it in laquer thinner and set it outside for 2 or 3 weeks. let it rust and oxidize well.
the engine compartment will be gloss epoxy black. interior factory blue.
the rest of the time is going to be spent buffing all aluminum and chroming the engine compartment and chassis.

To speed up the process you could probably spray it with some water IF you take it down to bare metal. Someone accidentaly tried it on the 89 Cummins and it started to rust pretty quick. PPG Has a nice single stage Black that you could use for like 100 bucks taking into account the size of your truck. Are you gonna recrome the chrome parts of the truck.

the pan if it didnt hit the cross member, is still 4 inches from the ground. But now there is no pan at all. I converted to dry sump.
yea the engine is as far low and as far back as possible, which gave me near 55/45 weight distribution.
and total weight after the diet..... 2367lbs.
now add 700hp.

there was very little original chrome and most is in great shape (desert truck)
as for the paint, it was free. left over aircraft epoxy. sprays great. hold up to heat super super well. kinda brittle though... chips if you ding it too hard.
i dont want rust rust.... just some well aged look rust.... the idea when done,
this will be a former "Kool-Aid" delievery truck.
