1976 Chevy Stepside Pickup hunting truck

[Alex Flint]

I built it to look like your average small town Iowa countryside deer hunting truck. I painted everything with a paint brush. The paint color is an Acrylic craft paint FolkArt Metallic Sheen Burgundy. The dirty look is done with a light brown acrylic craft paint and a dry brush patting technique. The bed is painted in a Flat Black to resemble a bed liner. The interior is painted in a Glossy Grey color to look like a vinyl interior. I even brought the dirty look to the interior as well as the engine. The seatbelt buckles are 3D printed along with the hunting binoculars and the hunting rifle. The seatbelt material is so grey ribbon I got from Hobby Lobby. The carpet is some grey craft felt that I dirtied up with the light brown paint. The engine bay details were all painted by hand and were all molded in. All the chrome was dirtied up the same way as the body. I wanted this truck to look like it's in good shape and just needs a car wash. It's a box stock build.

This rig looks like it has seen many dusty and muddy gravel roads. I can almost smell the dusty interior from here.

Nicely done.  Great weathering.

Nice and dirty. It sure looks the part. Great weathering.

I love a square body of any type. I really like how you "weathered" this. It really looks like mud!

I like the concept and think it turned out well, but I have a crazy question for you:  any chance you have some pics of the truck before you weathered it?  I'm always looking for another burgundy and I'd like to see what your paint looks like.

Great job on the weathering! Often times this type of painting is harder to do than a good shiny paint job to look realistic but you did it very well.
