1966 GTO - Painting The 2-Tone V8TV

http://www.v8tvshow.com - The GTO came to us in primer, but we didn't want it to hit the streets on the Hot Rod Power Tour in boring light gray. So the decision was made to shoot the car with a fun 2-tone paint scheme of charcoal and Scarlet red in PPG basecoat to give the car an aggressive, satin look. Other materials used include lots of 3M tape and mask paper. Someday the car will receive some new bodywork and a more complete paint job, but this is the deal for now.

man that color combo is too nice to not clear coat, you guys are too gay with cars!! clear it.

We're pretty "straight" with cars. The car is still going to get a base /clear color scheme soon.

Not really, Randall... the thing that got us was the 2-tone on the fender was off about 3/16" from the body, so we made the stripe about 1/4" and it all worked out perfectly!

I was going along, really enjoying these videos and then you stopped numbering them! I'm all over the place now. I've seen the body on the car, then I've seen you put the body on the car, then I've seen you build the differential. Ve mus half roolsth! Do you have these sequenced somewhere on your site? I drove a mutt '66 GTO back in the 80's that was in way worse shape than the one you got. I don't think there were two pieces of metal the same color under the rusty black top coat. Miss that car!

I've got a 1984 Bronco that I'm wanting to two tone. The inset of it will be silver with the rest (top and bottom) being black with a red stripe (approximately 1/2 inch) to seperate the colors. This is my first two tone paint job. Could you tell me how you would lay each color down without having any overlap? Thanks!

what's that? You sprayed first the black and after the red on the body.

But you sprayed first the red and second the black on the panels.

Do you mind it's good?

I have a question, when doing a 2 tone paint job how do you level the paint when pulling off the tape? I sanded the stripe down where the paint meets but it dulled the paint and I had to paint back over it, and I just left it as is. Any suggestions?
