Excellent video, I have a 94 k2500 that I have torn down for paint. I just finished shooting the base coats white and next I'm doing pearl in the first coats of clear and then finish with additional coats of clear. The pearl I'm adding is violet, blue, green, brass, and titanium white which with a lot of mixing combos finally got the amounts off each color dialed in for a really cool pearl coat that should really look incredible. Would love to see more of this kind of content in this video. Thanks for sharing and keep doing what you do, later...

Love the OBS! I’m conflicted on the wrap because on the one hand, I love Nardo Grey, but on the other hand I love the mid-90s GM green. Y’all should absolutely build a SBC for it and restore the interior. Maybe even beef it up with a chase rack and bumpers. Some of us love 4x4 content along with our car content.

[@wearthecrownhc4634]

I’m literally doing the build you’re talking about with my 94 C2500. Very similar to this video, but I’m keeping the green as-is, lifting it, blacked out ALL the chrome, doing the interior soon. My girl wanted gunship grey, but I’m keeping the green. I’ll try and post videos soon! 🤘🏼🤘🏼 (working on the racks and trim to make it an outdoors truck.)
